6906 Dixie St, Columbus, GA 31907 For Sale

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully permitted, large-scale fermentation manufacturing facility in the United States. Located in Columbus, Georgia, the site is strategically positioned to support domestic production and strengthen U.S. fermentation supply chains.

The opportunity is structured to provide flexibility of acquisition, allowing buyers to pursue the asset either as a standalone real estate investment or as a turnkey fermentation manufacturing platform, depending on strategic objectives.

Real Estate Acquisition Land and Facility Only

The real estate offering consists of a 22-acre industrial site with a purpose-built fermentation manufacturing facility. This option enables an owner or investor to acquire the land and building independently of the manufacturing equipment and operational assets.

The facility encompasses approximately 50,000 square feet, offering significant flexibility for continued fermentation use, redevelopment, or repurposing for other advanced manufacturing applications.

The property benefits from clean Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments and is fully entitled for industrial use.

This option is well suited for:

• Industrial real estate investors seeking a high-quality, mission-critical asset
• Owner-users planning redevelopment or adaptive reuse
• Strategic groups seeking to control the real estate while evaluating future operational deployment.

Turnkey Fermentation Manufacturing Platform Land, Building, and Full Production Assets

For buyers seeking immediate operational capability, the acquisition can be expanded to include the complete fermentation manufacturing platform housed within the facility.

This fully integrated asset package includes: Approximately 1.5 million liters of fermentation capacity 200,000 liters of high-pressure / high-temperature reactor capacity Comprehensive downstream processing infrastructure Quality control and analytical laboratories Fully developed utilities and support systems A trained workforce of 50+ operators

The facility was designed by Merck, with a layout replicating Merck’s Danville, Pennsylvania site, and is fully permitted and compliant with FDA, EPA, USDA, OSHA, and ISO 13485 requirements.

Engineered for commercial-scale production, the platform offers a compelling strategic advantage: an estimated 18-month fast start-up timeline, compared to approximately five years for a greenfield development. This accelerated path to operation delivers a meaningful time-to-market and capital efficiency advantage for onshore fermentation manufacturing.

Located in industrial corridor in Columbus, GA. The site provides quick access to Highway 80/US-280, allowing seamless travel throughout Columbus and into Alabama, as well as convenient connectivity to I-185 for direct routes to Atlanta and surrounding markets.
