By appointment only: Production-Grade Auto Body Facility with Rare Grandfathered Paint Booth | Owner-User or Industrial Opportunity
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out auto body facility at 245 24th Street in Richmond, California. The property features a grandfathered heated downdraft paint booth—an increasingly difficult asset to replicate under current environmental and permitting regulations—making it highly attractive for automotive operators and specialized industrial users.
The approximately 4,000 SF building (seller estimates ~4,500 SF, buyer to verify) is configured for efficient automotive production, with dedicated areas for prep, bodywork, painting, and finishing. The layout supports multi-stage workflow and simultaneous vehicle processing, providing operational functionality beyond typical small-shop configurations.
The facility includes dual access points from 24th Street and Exchange Boulevard, allowing for efficient vehicle flow and ingress/egress. The property is located within an established automotive service corridor near Macdonald Avenue, benefiting from strong visibility and consistent vehicle traffic, including both destination and pass-through users.
Key features include a built-in heated downdraft paint booth system, paint mixing infrastructure (waterborne and solvent systems), air compressors, filtration systems, and shop support infrastructure. The paint booth and installed systems transfer with the property; additional equipment may be made available but is not required for purchase.
The property is zoned C-2 (buyer to verify permitted uses) and is suitable for immediate use as an auto body facility, repositioning for alternative industrial uses, or lease-up to an automotive operator. Potential exists for future redevelopment or live/work configuration, subject to buyer verification with the City of Richmond.
The property can be delivered vacant or with optional FF&E. SBA financing may be available for qualified owner-users.
