Highway 92 by-pass is the main entrance into Sierra Vista from the north and from the northwest, connecting to Highway 90, north to I-10. This is a prime location for most types of business due to its high traffic counts which includes a lot of foot traffic as well. Due to the number of hotels, apartments, homes and eateries in the area there are a half dozen or so bus stops in the area that contribute to the foot traffic. Property types in the neighborhood include single family residences, multi-family apartments, single and multi-tenant retail, single and multi-tenant office, and limited industrial/warehouse uses. Sierra Vista is known as the "Hummingbird Capital of the United States" and the name Sierra Vista is Spanish for "Mountain View". Sierra Vista was incorporated in 1956, serves as the main commercial, cultural and recreational hub of Cochise County and is the largest of seven incorporated cities in Cochise County, accounting for nearly one-third of the County's estimated population. Fort Huachuca is a U.S. military (army) base and communications and information technology hub and is the largest employer in Arizona. The substantial employment base is the primary economic force and because of contracts with the Army, the professional, scientific and technical services sector is unusually high. Other top employers are the Sierra Vista school district, Canyon Vista Medical Center (hospital), Man Tech International Corp, Aegis Communications Group and Northrop Grumman Corp. This is a truly unique, second-to-none quality building with one owner/operator since 1956. It is designed to suit many different types of business uses from retail to service to administrative/office. As owner/operator we have run several types of successful businesses over the past 50 years from a pool hall to a smoke shop/paper back store to a pawn and coin shop and had long time subtenants of a barber, jeweler and diner. My father passed away back in 2003 at which time we leased the downstairs for the first and only time to Checkmate, a check cashing business, for the next 8 years. Following their termination do to the "Sunset" law, the entire first floor has been remodeled and is move in ready. We will consider any reasonable offers for lease or sale and we are very easy to work with ending up with a business relationship that is fair to both parties.
