Operations / Manufacturing Facility (hanger and offices) at the West Virginia Eastern Regional Airport, near Washington, DC (Martinsburg, WV) - Custom-built 92,500 square foot aerospace manufacturing facility, with full technical drawings available, previously used by Sino-Swearingen for manufacture of the SJ30 business jets. The cost to build was $13 million in 1997. - 67,500 square foot hangar, plus 25,000 square foot lean design office/engineering space. Clear span (200 feet x 300 feet) with 50 foot peak ceiling height in hanger, and no restrictions to add outside capital equipment such as paint booths, autoclaves, dryers etc. - 70 year plus fixed lease, at $1.00/acre/year ground rent for 33 acres, plus Airport Maintenance Fee of only $10k per year; - Property has large jet sized aircraft apron area, and own security gate for aircraft access to taxiways. Fuel farm is available, if desired. - Direct access to the taxiways, via security barrier which is under own control (i.e. no delays compared to gates manned by airport personnel). - Hangar can be replicated to a total 135,000 square foot, without changing access roads, parking, pipework, office building access, etc. - Fully paved parking lot for up to 225 vehicles. - Future expansion capability on this existing site. - Hangar can be replicated to a total 135,000 square foot, without changing access roads, parking, pipework, office building access, etc. - Fully paved parking lot for up to 225 vehicles. - Future expansion capability on this existing site. - Excellent proximity to Washington DC via expressway. - Ten minute (37 nautical miles) repositioning flight from Washington Dulles (IAD) airport; - West Virginia has one of the lowest electricity prices in the US. - In a "free trade zone", so there are no federal taxes on production inventories and other benefits. - Plentiful supply of willing workers in Martinsburg with good work ethic, and reasonable salary expectations as housing costs are relatively low. - Located on the I-81 the preferred North/South truck route, in close proximity to I-66 and I-70, which makes accessible supplies and raw materials at reasonable trucking rates. - Huge security-cleared aircraft technical workforce available from the downsizing of hundreds of aircraft technicians from the Air National Guard facility at the airport (C5 aircraft being replaced by C17 which require less staff). - Martinsburg businesses now have access to various community colleges locally that teach aircraft manufacturing and MRO operations. - Large electric hanger door onto apron (60 foot wide, 25 foot high) with expansion capabilities - Generous WV State/County abatements and subsidies available. - Convenient for ongoing liaison with Federal Government agencies (e.g. ExIm Bank, headquartered in Washington DC, a potentially important assistance for export financing and internal WIP financing). - Located on the I-81 the preferred North/South truck route, in close proximity to I-66 and I-70, which makes accessible supplies and raw materials at reasonable trucking rates. - 8815 ft runway, with easy climb-out for “first flight” test flights of any newly produced aircraft or UAVs. - If an interested party would prefer, the current owner, who has an extensive aviation background, and understands the nuances of aerospace production, would be amenable to execute a long term lease. We would be honored to have the opportunity to show off this truly exceptional facility.
