401 E 2nd Street, Owensboro, KY 42303

The former Wright Machine Company building is a historic, landmark industrial property with a riverfront presence. Designed to support manufacturing activity, the structure offers a flexible foundation for a range of redevelopment directions or immediate occupancy, depending on the tenant or operator’s needs. Its historic character is a prominent part of the building’s identity, creating a distinctive setting for adaptive reuse or mixed-use concepts.

Located along the Ohio River in downtown Owensboro, the property is surrounded by the city’s established business district and nearby dining, entertainment, and activity. With its visible riverfront setting and central address at 401 E 2nd Street, it is positioned for users who value a downtown presence.

The property is offered with I-2 Industrial zoning, which the listing notes supports flexibility for manufacturing, warehouse, office, commercial, mixed-use redevelopment, entertainment, and adaptive reuse. That mix of permitted use potential makes the building worth considering for companies looking to operate in an existing industrial asset, as well as for developers interested in repurposing a well-known local structure. The combination of riverfront location, historic character, and I-2 flexibility provides multiple practical paths for buyers and tenants evaluating downtown industrial space.
