Conveniently located just off Interstate 35 in Ellsworth, Iowa—approximately 20 minutes north of Ames and 45 minutes north of Des Moines—this 10.68-acre site offers strong regional access and visibility. Formerly operated as an indoor aquaculture facility, the property includes approximately 176,880 square feet of greenhouse space, providing a flexible footprint for a variety of potential uses.

The greenhouses were engineered to meet International Building Code standards for 100 mph wind loads and 30 lb. ground snow loads. Additional construction details are available, including information on original roofing systems, slab construction, structural framework, ventilation, backup power, water heating, and former operational systems.

The facility is equipped with four dock doors, one drive-in door, 3-phase electrical service, and two 450kW 480V Cummins backup generators.
