Executive Summary

As the exclusive advisor, Coldwell Banker Commercial River Valley presents the 54,500-square-foot commercial center at 400 W 9th Street in Ladysmith’s downtown area and Opportunity Zone.

The center comprises a big-box space and 7,500 square feet of three occupied in-line retail storefronts. This offering can cater to a retail/distribution/manufacturing user looking to secure expansive commercial space with high ceilings while offsetting expenses with in-place rental income and leases with extension opportunities. An additional in-place stream of income comes from a month-to-month parking lot agreement charging $125/month. Loading capabilities are supported by two standard-height loading docks with seals and vertical hydraulic dock levelers, as well as an exterior cube van dock. The subject spaces neighbor a Tractor Supply Co. building and share multiple points of access.

Downtown Ladysmith’s commercial synergy stems from national retailers and regional centers. Walmart Supercenter, Health Mart Pharmacy, Lamperts, and Dollar General are some of the larger tenants along the corridor. US Route 8 passes through the community, offering an east-west highway across Wisconsin and leading about 39 miles west to Rice Lake. Wisconsin Highway 27 makes up the bulk of the 64-mile drive to Eau Claire. The Marshfield Medical Center, just off Highway 27, is Rusk County’s regional hospital health system.

While retailers are present in the downtown core, major employers throughout Rusk County operate in flex/industrial areas. Weather Shield Manufacturing Inc., Rockwell Automation, Artisans Inc., and BiOrigin Products are the backbone of the local industrial sector and provide significant employment.

According to CoStar analytics, residents within a 10-mile radius of the subject have an average household income of nearly $65,000 annually. Education and health services, manufacturing, trade, and transportation and utilities reflect the three largest daytime employee counts. Among consumer spending categories, transportation and maintenance are the largest, followed by food and beverages.
