131 Freight St

A 25,432 SF industrial building at 131 Freight St in Waterbury is offered for sale at $1,500,000 by Commercial Connection. The building includes a 2,240 SF service-garage component on a 2.37-acre fenced parcel and is currently vacant, offering an owner-occupier or value-add buyer immediate possession.

Location — Freight Street District: the property sits along Freight Street in Waterbury’s West End, the spine of the city’s Freight Street District master plan. Waterbury has invested over $19 million reconstructing Freight Street as a complete street (subsurface utility upgrades, bike side-path, signalization) and the state’s Community Investment Fund 2030 approved an additional $10 million for assessment and cleanup at the adjacent 130 Freight Street site (former Anaconda American Brass, ~20 acres). The corridor is being transformed into a transit-oriented mixed-use district anchored by the Waterbury Train Station, the Naugatuck River Greenway, and a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses.

Use and zoning context: CBD zoning supports warehousing, light manufacturing, distribution, contractor, fabrication, and flex uses. The 2.37-acre fenced parcel allows for outdoor storage, fleet parking, or future expansion subject to zoning and approvals. The integrated 2,240 SF service-garage component supports operations requiring drive-in vehicle access alongside the main industrial space.

Market: Waterbury (06702) West End / downtown employment cluster: citywide population 114,000+, robust labor pool, mature industrial market with tight large-format vacancy. Direct access to I-84 and Route 8 at the I-84 / Rt 8 interchange ~0.5 mi away places the building in one of central Connecticut’s most-trafficked logistics nodes.

Specs: 25,432 SF industrial + 2,240 SF service garage, 2.37 acres fenced, 1954 construction, 10-14 ft ceilings, CBD zoning, on the Freight Street corridor adjacent to the Anaconda Brass redevelopment site.
