About 0 N Trenton Street
Commercial Property Opportunity - N Trenton St, Rutherford, TN
Versatile Industrial/Commercial Site with Significant Infrastructure - Ideal for Redevelopment or Multifamily Use
Sitting on 5.57 acres in Rutherford, TN, this commercial property offers exceptional potential for redevelopment, industrial use, storage, manufacturing — or even multifamily housing. The site features expansive open concrete slab space and two substantial structures with strong existing infrastructure and utility access. Real estate taxes are just $1,130.88 annually, offering a low carrying cost for investors and developers.
Building #1 - South Side
Approx. 16,000 total square feet (8,000 SF first floor + 8,000 SF second floor). The second floor is load-rated for 2.5 million pounds, ideal for heavy equipment, storage, or adaptive reuse. Structural steel frame with mixed exterior construction:
West wall: block and brick
North wall: block
South wall: sheet metal
East wall: open
The roof is rust-colored but remains dry inside. No utilities are currently connected to this building.
Building #2 - North Side
Approx. 21,000 square feet. Built with 12-inch block and concrete headwalls:
South wall: block
West and north walls: 12" block over 12" concrete headwalls
East wall: open
Interior frame includes structural steel columns and bar joists. Roof consists of metal decking with a plastic membrane, but currently leaks and is not dry inside. Excellent potential for renovation, storage, or phased redevelopment.
Infrastructure & Utilities
Electrical: 3-phase power available at both the front and rear of the property
Water: 10-inch main at the rear (parallel to the site), 2-inch line now available at both the front and rear of the property
Sewer: 4-inch sewer lines available at both the front and rear, with a manhole connection on the north side
Development Potential
No permits are required to construct a driveway entrance at the front of the property if the front wall is removed. The flat, open concrete slab makes site work cost-effective. The existing structures provide a flexible footprint for industrial, commercial, or warehousing use, or complete redevelopment.
Apartments or Multi-Family
This property also offers strong potential for multifamily residential development — such as an apartment complex, or multi-family units — this has already been discussed with the City of Rutherford, and they have confirmed their support for this type of redevelopment. The size of the lot, presence of utilities, and structure of the buildings make this a unique opportunity to blend residential and commercial use in a growing area.
There is also an opportunity to convert the existing south-side building (Building #1) into apartment units, with the addition of an on-site laundromat for both tenants and public use. Adequate water and sewer capacity are already in place to support this kind of development.
Bonus Incentive - City Support
The City of Rutherford has expressed willingness to transfer the adjacent parking lot (located to the right of the property) to the new owner. This significantly enhances site functionality and provides additional space for parking, green space, or community use — especially valuable for apartment or mixed-use projects.
