7325 W Fond du Lac Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53218-3951
Marketing description
FOUNDERS 3 has been exclusively retained to offer the fee simple interest in 7325 W Fond du Lac Avenue (the "Property"), a 13,892 square foot ("SF") industrial auto repair facility situated on a 0.91 acre ("AC") site in Milwaukee's Northwest industrial submarket. The Property features six (6) drive-in doors, masonry construction, 18' to 21' clear heights, and approximately 35 parking stalls. Originally constructed for DJ's Transmissions (collectively, the "Company" or "Tenant"), the Property has served as the Company's home for the past 40 years and is additionally utilized by its subsidiary, Milwaukee Muscle Cars.
Strategically positioned along heavily trafficked Fond du Lac Avenue and within five (5) miles of Interstates 41 and 43, the Property offers excellent visibility, accessibility, and regional connectivity for users serving the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area. Supported by constrained supply, steady rent growth, and a limited development pipeline, the Milwaukee Northwest industrial submarket offers investors the opportunity to acquire a high-quality industrial asset at a substantial discount to replacement cost.
Established in 1978, DJ's Transmissions has served Southeastern Wisconsin for nearly five decades. Specializing in transmission rebuilds, transfer case and differential servicing, and general automotive repairs, the Company provides a full range of services to its clients. Established as a subsidiary of DJ's Transmissions, Milwaukee Muscle Cars specializes in classic and muscle car restoration, complementing the core automotive repair business. In addition to serving local enthusiasts, Milwaukee Muscle Cars completes restoration projects for collectors throughout the United States and around the world. Both tenants operate from the Property and collectively function as an integrated automotive services platform.
The Company has grown to employ 16 highly trained technicians, who are members in good standing of the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) and the Automatic Transmission Service Group (ATSG), respected industry organizations that promote technical training and industry best practices. Together, DJ's Transmissions and Milwaukee Muscle Car have established a strong reputation throughout Milwaukee and the surrounding communities by delivering reliable, high-quality, and customized automotive solutions, while successfully operating from the subject property for more than 40 years.
