One of the busiest commercial corner locations in Hilo! A fee simple property with a large commercial building located at the corner of Kamehameha Avenue & Banyan Drive – one of the most well-known intersections in Hilo! An over 15,000 sf building contains retail, office, customer restrooms & warehouse areas, with adjacent parking stalls. Near the Hilo airport, Port of Hilo and landmark Banyan Drive, this high traffic location is a rare find.
The triangular lot fronts Kamehameha Avenue and Banyan Drive, with driveway access from both roads. Currently leased to a retail hardware company, the existing industrial-type structure has been in various uses for over 50 years. If you are looking for a high visibility commercial location in Hilo, with off-street parking, this is it!
A parcel of State land at the rear separates this parcel from the Banyan Golf Course. Part of back parking area is State of Hawaii Lease Hold land, and is not included in the sale.
This site is designated Open (O) by the County Zoning Code. The existing structure and various industrial-types of uses have existed on this site prior to the adoption of the Zoning Code in 1967. The existing building and uses are therefore considered “non-conforming” as per Section 25-79 of the Zoning Code, are legal and have been ‘grandfathered in’ due to prior existence.
Land uses in the immediate vicinity include various commercial and industrial uses on lands zoned Neighborhood Commercial (CN) & Limited Industrial (ML). Utilities (county water, electric & telephone) are available to the property. The site is designated Urban by the State Land Use Commission. The property is located within the boundaries of the Special Management Area (SMA). The Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) designates this site as located within an area outside of the 500-year flood plain (Zone X). There is a 120 ft & a 50 ft road right of way (R/W) fronting Kamehameha. Buyers recommended to get their own appraisal.
