Flex Industrial and Cold Storage Facility Receivership Sale

Investment summary

The sale is offered on an as-is, where-is basis with all furniture, fixtures, and equipment included, providing a rare turnkey opportunity for an incoming wine producer, beverage manufacturer, or food-processing operator. The facility comprises three buildings totaling approximately 39,980 square feet. The original 19,040-square-foot structure, constructed in 1999, houses a tasting room and retail area, event space, executive offices, a mezzanine level, and a light industrial production area purpose-built for winemaking. In 2008, a 20,000-square-foot climate-controlled cold barrel storage building and a 720-square-foot shop building were added, substantially expanding the property’s production and storage capacity. Construction is steel-frame with insulated walls, high ceilings, and modern building systems designed to support winemaking, climate-controlled fermentation, and long-term barrel aging. The property features a dock-high loading dock with a dock leveler for efficient freight handling, a covered crush pad area, floor drains throughout the production zones, glycol chiller and heat exchange systems, and three-phase electrical service. The tasting room wing offers finished hospitality-grade interiors with customer restrooms, a retail merchandising area, and a commercial prep kitchen. An outdoor patio and event lawn further enhance the property’s direct-to-consumer and entertainment capabilities. Included in the sale is an extensive inventory of winemaking equipment, including stainless-steel fermentation tanks ranging from 500 to 10,000 gallons, a complete bottling line with head spinner, barrel racks and storage systems, vacuum pumps, a KLR wine press, an ozone sanitation system, a bin rotator, and numerous cellar tools. Prosser, Washington, is widely recognized as the birthplace of Washington wine, with over 20 wineries clustered in the immediate vicinity and more than 20,000 acres of vineyards throughout the Yakima Valley American Viticultural Area. The property’s location on Lee Road places it among established neighbors including Mercer Wine Estates, Alexandria Nicole Cellars, and the Prosser Wine & Food Park. Access to Interstate 82 is less than two miles away, providing efficient distribution routes to the Tri-Cities metropolitan area (population 320,000+), Yakima, Seattle, and Portland. Annual sunshine exceeding 300 days and the valley’s warm-day, cool-night climate create ideal grape-growing conditions that sustain the region’s wine industry.
