Just Leased: Former RB Industries Facility in Harrisonville, Missouri

Sperry Van Ness/Fiducia Properties recently assisted with the leasing of the former RB Industries (RBI) facility located at 1801 Vine Street in Harrisonville, Missouri. The 35,500 SF building was leased October 1st to a start-up company which manufactures a variety of filters for industrial applications. The successful tenant was one of two businesses vying for the rights to lease the building, which had been on the market (for sale) for over 18 months.


The RBI property has been widely considered the most attractive facility in the Harrisonville Industrial Park. Located at the corner of Vine Street and Plaza Drive, it contains and excellent set of drive-in, dock high, and side-load (flatbed) doors. The building also boasts abundant electrical power and is fully air-conditioned—a critical feature for the successful tenant. Although the city of Harrisonville required the building to be retrofitted with a sprinkler system before it could be occupied, the city applied economic development funds to bring a six inch water main from the west side of Plaza Drive to the west side of the building to help accommodate the sprinkler requirement.

The RBI building was built in 1985 and housed RB Industries, a manufacturer of precision scroll saws, for over 20 years. Sperry Van Ness/Fiducia Properties represented the owner/landlord in the transaction.
