Alabama Shipyard · Property For Lease

Embark on a bountiful foray into Mobile, Alabama, and the Gulf Coast with this multi-faceted opportunity presented by Alabama Shipyard. Prominently situated on Pinto Island along the Mobile River, Alabama Shipyard has been operating since 1916 and has constructed or repaired over 1,000 vessels in its more than 100-year history. The unparalleled location and unique offering could be put to many uses with the opportunity to acquire land, lease land or existing manufacturing and logistics space, or design a built-to-suit space to perfectly match organizational demand. Prices, parcels, and deal structures are highly flexible, and the in-house development and construction team ensure a seamless transition to Alabama Shipyard. The facility boasts one of the largest floating dry docks in the US, with a 46,400-ton capacity and wing wall cranes able to accommodate ships. Alabama Shipyard provides tenants access to multiple full-service shops, an inventory of essential equipment, warehouse storage, training programs, and a laydown or storage yard. The location provides businesses with 45 feet of water depth going out to the Gulf of Mexico, one of the deepest channels in the South, and access to 15,000 miles of inland waterways in 23 states. Alabama Shipyard is ideal for more than port logistics: there is an interstate five minutes away, railyards just across the river tunnel, and Mobile Aeroplex less than 15 minutes away. Mobile offers immense advantages for relocation as an attractive home for businesses and individuals. Domestic companies such as Lowe's, Amazon, Walmart, and more than 425 foreign-based businesses from 30 countries operate in Alabama. That number will climb, as the Southeast is the fastest-growing region in the United States. Alabama offers low operating costs with no inventory tax, low housing costs, discounts for qualifying companies, and one of the country's lowest overall corporate tax burdens, providing a low barrier for entry into this prolific commercial hub. Nearly 20% of the state’s GDP comes from the manufacturing sector, with little speculative construction in Mobile. Vacancy rates are well below the five-year average, and rents have been rising in the market, making this an ideal opportunity to provide the locale with a much-needed product to keep up with demand. The Alabama Port Authority is working on expanding the port by 2025, providing the perfect opening to claim a spot in what already is the ninth largest port by tonnage shipped before it moves into a class of its own and dominates the Gulf Coast shipping market.
