FINANCIAL & TAX ADVANTAGES

1. Incentive / Tax Exemption Potential

The City of Ottawa and Franklin County may offer a range of incentive programs — including Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs), property tax abatements, and sales tax exemptions — for qualifying projects that create jobs or expand industrial capacity.

The Kansas Department of Commerce also provides sales tax exemptions on eligible manufacturing equipment and construction materials for qualifying users.

While each program requires application and approval, these incentives could meaningfully lower long-term operating costs and improve return on investment.

2. Cost Segregation & Depreciation Benefits

A cost segregation study on a 70,000+ SF industrial facility of this quality can identify numerous short-life assets (e.g., electrical, HVAC, finishes, paving, etc.), potentially accelerating depreciation schedules and generating substantial first-year tax benefits.

For investors, this can significantly improve after-tax cash flow, while owner-users benefit from reduced taxable income and stronger early-year ROI.

3. Seller Financing Option

The seller is open to providing financing for qualified buyers, allowing for flexible structuring and faster closing.

Benefits include reduced bank involvement, customizable terms, and the potential for creative amortization or balloon structures to fit the buyer’s capital strategy.

SUMMARY

This Ottawa industrial facility combines prime infrastructure, flexible deal structure, and exceptional value in one offering.

Located just minutes from the Kansas City metro, it delivers the same logistical reach as Gardner or Olathe at a fraction of the cost, while offering all the features of a modern manufacturing or distribution headquarters.
