Jim's Auto Body

Investment Overview

A rare Hudson Valley commercial offering comprising two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 8.34 acres along the bustling Route 9G corridor. Anchoring the offering is 1059 Violet Avenue, a 1.00-acre commercial parcel improved with a 5,758 SF collision and automotive repair facility alongside an updated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single-family residence. The business asset—Jim’s Auto Body—has operated as a local staple for roughly 55 years, presenting a turnkey platform with extensive collision repair infrastructure, including 10 automotive bays, a dedicated spray booth, a paint mixing booth, multiple accessory structures and equipment. Extending behind the frontage parcel is a 7.34-acre tract currently utilized for storage, accessory sheds, and open yard space. This dual-parcel assemblage bridges two complementary zoning environments: East Park Business District (EPBD) on the commercial corridor and Neighborhood Core (NC) on the rear acreage. Whether an owner-operator seeks to capitalize on a multi-generational automotive legacy, an investor looks to optimize existing commercial and residential cash flows, or a developer envisions a comprehensive mixed-use or residential redevelopment, this property offers unmatched scale and flexibility in northern Dutchess County.
