For sale: Grain elevator
DeBruce Grain has put its grain elevators at I-135 and 25th North on the market — and a more unusual piece of industrial property in Wichita is hard to find.
The elevator, at 1400 E. 25th St. North, is 100 feet tall, more than 100 feet wide and 1,500 feet long.
Built in the 1950s and owned by several owners, the grain terminal hasn’t been used since 2002 and is not operational. DeBruce doesn’t want to help its competition, so the deed would include a restriction preventing it from being used as a grain elevator in the future.
So, that brings up the question: What do you do with a giant old grain elevator that can’t be used?
It’s a challenge, acknowledges Kris Wessel, an agent with Grubb & Ellis/Martens Commercial who is marketing the building.
He is primarily marketing it based on the 7.5 acres of vacant land immediately south of the elevator.
On the plus side, Wessel said, the land sits between Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks, has fabulous visibility from I-135 and is zoned for general industrial.
