679 Linwood Ave 5,845 SF 100% Leased Retail Building Whitinsville, MA 01588 $1,200,000 ($205.30/SF)
Executive Summary
679 Linwood Avenue, Whitinsville (Northbridge), MA presents a versatile industrial property opportunity on 0.99± acres within the town’s Industrial-1 (I-1) zoning district. The site includes two 1970-era buildings totaling 5,845± SF, historically operated as the Depot Car Wash, with strong frontage, visibility, and access along the Linwood/Providence Road corridor.
The property supports two primary value paths: (1) reactivation of the existing automotive use or (2) adaptive reuse for a range of industrial and service-oriented operations consistent with I-1 zoning.
PATHWAY 1 — AUTOMOTIVE USE REACTIVATION
For car wash operators, automotive service users, or investors, the existing infrastructure provides a meaningful basis for reactivation or conversion within the automotive service category.
Existing improvements include:
1 tunnel bay and 4 self-service bays
Office area, mechanical rooms, and established equipment layout
Pole-mounted site lighting and freestanding signage
New glass overhead door on site (conveys)
2022 plumbing repairs and prior functional testing
Automotive service uses are consistent with the site’s historical use profile and may be reactivated or adapted subject to local permitting and modernization.
PATHWAY 2 — ADAPTIVE INDUSTRIAL / SERVICE REUSE
The nearly 1-acre Industrial-1 pad, combined with existing buildings and yard area, is well-suited for industrial and service-oriented occupiers seeking outdoor storage, equipment circulation, and flexible building layouts.
Potential use categories include:
Automotive service, repair, or specialty vehicle operations
Contractor trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, landscaping, etc.)
Fleet, equipment, or utility service operations
Light fabrication or assembly
Warehousing, storage, or distribution support
Office, technical office, or R&D ancillary to industrial use
The site’s visibility, access, and zoning make it a strong candidate for users requiring a functional industrial footprint in a well-traveled corridor.

U-Haul is an American moving truck, trailer, and self-storage rental company, based in Phoenix, Arizona, that has been in operation since 1945. The company was founded by Leonard Shoen and Anna Mary Carty Shoen in Ridgefield, Washington, who began it in the garage owned by his wife's family, and expanded it through franchising with gas stations. In addition to moving truck and trailer rentals and self-storage units, many U-Haul centers and dealerships also provide moving boxes, packing supplies, LPG (propane) refill, trailer hitch and wiring installation, storage container rentals, and other services.
