Positioned at the gateway to downtown Hilo with direct frontage on the Wailoa River, the property enjoys outstanding visibility from the high-traffic Hilo Bayfront corridor (Kamehameha Avenue / Highway 19), one of the busiest thoroughfares on the island. It is the only fee simple industrial complex in this scenic bayfront area, bordering the only navigable river in the area where canoes, marine craft, and boats moor and launch. LoopNetLoopNet
Recently improved (2025): new roof, plus full interior metal treatment and fresh paint throughout — move-in ready with the deferred maintenance already handled.
