About 1001 Central Avenue
Commercial building for sale in Great Falls, MT: flex office and shop space with C-5 zoning and a 12 foot garage door. This is a great opportunity to own shop and office space in one of Montana's growing commercial corridors, with immediate income producing use today and a low cost path to a large open shop tomorrow.
The building is currently configured with 4 private offices and multiple dedicated storage areas, move in ready for administrative, professional, financial, or general services use, all permitted by right under Great Falls C-5 zoning, meaning no conditional use hearing required. Above the finished drop ceilings sits the real upside: exposed metal roof trusses and a 12 foot garage door, both concealed behind ceilings that were lowered years ago for cost efficiency. Removing the false ceiling and select interior walls opens the building into one large, clear span shop, ideal for light manufacturing, an artisan shop, vehicle repair and service, general repair, or contractor adjacent operations, all uses permitted by right in this C-5 zone.
Great Falls C-5 zoning allows a wide range of by right, administrative review only uses relevant to this property, including general services, professional services, administrative and financial services, general repair, vehicle repair, vehicle sales and service, light manufacturing and assembly, artisan shop, climate controlled indoor storage, general sales, restaurant, health care clinic and services, and instructional or commercial education facility. That flexibility means a buyer is not locked into office use. The building can pivot to a shop, service center, light manufacturing space, or retail showroom without the delay of a conditional use process.
Own both office and shop space under one roof in a growing city with room to expand. Keep it as is for immediate office and service use, or invest in opening the ceilings to unlock a large format shop behind that 12 foot garage door. The structure, including trusses, clear height, and door, is already in place and ready to be uncovered. Contact us today to schedule a showing of this rare Great Falls flex office and shop building.
Buyers should verify specific use plans against current Great Falls zoning code and confirm any conditional use requirements for uses marked "C" in the applicable district.
