This location is prime for retail and vehicle-related investors. Situated in the heart of Durham, NC, this area offers easy access to Duke University and Duke University Hospital, with quick access to US 15-501 and NC-147 (Durham Freeway). With local businesses, diverse dining options, and convenient access to major roads, this area presents a compelling investment opportunity for retail and vehicle-related ventures.3601 Hillsborough Road offers a rare opportunity to acquire a ±23,286 square foot freestanding warehouse building on approximately 2.22 acres in a high-traffic corridor of Durham, NC. The majority of the building is currently occupied by the owner and used as an automotive service facility. A portion is leased on a month-to-month basis to Hertz for car rental operations. Hertz has expressed interest in renewing their lease, but the owner has intentionally left that option open to provide maximum flexibility for an owner-occupant buyer. Zoned IL (Industrial Light), the building is well suited for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses, including automotive, distribution, service trade, flex/showroom, or contractor operations. What makes this property especially unique is its combination of true industrial utility with excellent visibility and access in a prominent retail corridor—a combination that's increasingly hard to find in infill markets like Durham. While the existing building provides strong functionality and flexibility, the site could also appeal to retail users or developers as a covered land play, given its location and frontage. The site will need to be subdivided prior to closing, as a portion of the existing parcel is part of an adjacent property being retained by the seller.
