PROPERTY OF THE DAY - 501 Broad Street, Johnstown, PA 15906 - For Sale 1,350,000
Industrial / Warehouse Facility with Major Upgrades & Incentives
Located in the heart of Johnstown, this impressive industrial and warehouse facility at 501 Broad Street offers a rare combination of modern infrastructure, energy efficiency, and tax incentive potential - all while being certified above the city flood plain. The property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over the years, making it a move-in-ready opportunity for both owner-users and investors.
The building spans approximately 37,570 square feet on 1.6 acres of land, and features all the essentials for light manufacturing, production, or warehousing operations. An elevation study conducted in 2007 confirmed that the property sits safely above the city’s flood zone, providing long-term peace of mind for future ownership.
Energy efficiency and operational performance are at the forefront of this property’s design. In 2006, the entire second-floor ceiling—roughly 8,000 square feet—was insulated with a two-inch layer of polyurethane foam, significantly improving thermal efficiency. Heating for the first floor is handled by a Johnson Air Rotation System, which circulates warm air evenly throughout the building, reducing the need for individual heaters and keeping energy costs low.
Power capacity is strong, with a three-phase electrical system and step-down transformer installed by Barclay Electric in 2007 to support industrial machinery and equipment. Lighting was upgraded the same year in collaboration with the Hite Company, incorporating high-efficiency fluorescent fixtures and ballast systems for improved output and reduced power usage. The facility also includes a compressed air system with a dedicated compressor, overhead storage tanks, and on-floor tanks that provide consistent high-pressure air throughout the workspace.
Inside, the office spaces were fully repainted in 2015 and remain in excellent condition. The building features a 29,402 with new slide-lite doors and a transom, installed the same year. A 29,402 with full-color display and custom laptop controls offers excellent visibility and branding potential from Broad Street.
The front showroom area was expanded with a new “bump-out” addition that includes high-visibility windows and timed interior lighting — ideal for showcasing products or creating an inviting reception area. High-speed fiber optic internet runs to both the front offices and rear storage areas, supporting modern business operations.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a secure rear parking lot equipped with exterior power outlets for trucks and general electrical use. The roof has been professionally maintained every year since purchase, with a new Acrylitop EPDM UV base coat applied in 2015 to extend its lifespan and maintain watertight integrity. The front entrance and walkway were rebuilt in 2007, and the exterior landscaping includes a stone retaining wall and color-matched awning system that gives the property a clean, professional appearance.
Operational convenience is another standout feature — one of the four large overhead doors includes an in-floor hydraulic lift system, providing easy loading and unloading access for heavy equipment or materials.
In summary, 501 Broad Street represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, high-capacity industrial facility with proven systems. With its strong infrastructure, excellent condition, and strategic location, it’s perfectly suited for manufacturing, fabrication, or distribution — and ready to deliver value from day one.
