About this House
5.5-Acre Commercial Investment Opportunity with River Access
Some properties are defined by what they are. 1112 E. Main Street is defined by what it could become.
Located along East Main Street in Independence, Kansas, this unique commercial property offers approximately 5.5 acres, multiple existing buildings, ample on-site parking, public utilities, and access to the Verdigris River. For decades, many in the community knew this property as the former Townsman Motel, and more recently it served as Hope Tank. Today, it presents an opportunity for an investor, developer, or entrepreneur to give the property an entirely new purpose.
The existing motel-style layout creates possibilities that go far beyond a traditional commercial building. An investor could explore converting the individual spaces into storage units or climate-controlled storage, renovating the property back into a motel, boutique hotel, or extended-stay concept, or creating office, retail, flex, or mixed-use commercial space.
Looking for something more outside the box? Imagine an event venue, restaurant or entertainment concept, business campus, contractor space, or recreational destination that takes advantage of the additional acreage and river access.
The property consists of approximately 4.38 acres at 1112 E. Main Street, along with an additional 1.16-acre parcel, for approximately 5.54 total acres. County records identify three existing motel buildings with a combined 49 former unitsand approximately 17,400 square feet of building area, providing a substantial footprint for renovation or redevelopment. The additional parcel extends north of the river, adding another unique element to the property.
Whether your plans involve renovating, repurposing, expanding, or starting over with an entirely new concept, the combination of acreage, existing infrastructure, location, and river access makes this a property worth exploring.
1112 E. Main isn't about what it used to be. It's about what you can make it next.
Bring your ideas. Bring your plans. And come see the possibilities for yourself.
