I read this article from SiouxFalls.Business about Vern Eide’s plans to repurpose the former Citibank campus in Sioux Falls, and it reminded me of the possibilities right here in Mitchell.

What I find particularly interesting about the Vern Eide project is the idea of taking an existing property and reimagining it around the needs of its next user rather than simply accepting the way the space was originally designed.
It is a great reminder that sometimes the opportunity isn’t about starting from scratch on bare land — it’s about seeing what an existing property could become with the right vision. With the right creativity and investment, it can be reimagined to serve new purposes and create new opportunities.

With approximately 78,000 square feet of space, pricing in the $36-per-square-foot range, and an additional 2.5-acre vacant lot, this property offers a substantial foundation for someone willing to think creatively.

The building has been divided into three separate listings, essentially allowing an investor or business to “right-size” the opportunity for their use rather than having to take on the entire property.
There are some unique features that create a lot of flexibility.
The two-story portion currently being offered for sale has a concrete structural floor deck between the two floors, which provides a solid foundation for reconfiguring and remodeling the interior space to accommodate a new use.
The south end of the building has already demonstrated that flexibility. Smaller offices have been removed in one area, creating an approximately 8,000-square-foot open light-production space with a loading dock — showing how the existing footprint can be adapted to something very different from its original office configuration.

This isn’t simply a conversation about buying an older office building. It’s about asking what could be created with a substantial existing structure, adaptable interior space and additional land — and finding the right investor or user with a vision for it.

A multi-vendor retail space? A business campus? A training and education center? A combination of commercial uses? A destination that brings new activity, jobs and investment to Mitchell?

Sioux Falls is showing what can happen when someone looks at an existing property and sees an opportunity. Could Mitchell do the same?
