The prominent Caterpillar manufacturing facility in Wamego, Kansas, has officially been listed for sale, marking a significant milestone in the previously announced closure of the plant. The 258,112-square-foot production facility, which currently employs approximately 300 full-time workers, is expected to cease operations in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Colliers, the commercial real estate firm handling the sale, has begun marketing the industrial complex, highlighting its extensive manufacturing capabilities and strategic location. The facility boasts substantial infrastructure including overhead cranes, heavy-duty power systems, extensive outdoor storage areas, and direct rail access.
"This facility presents an exceptional opportunity for manufacturing enterprises seeking a strategically positioned operation center," said a Colliers representative. The property encompasses approximately 44 acres, with an additional 37 acres potentially available for expansion.
The facility's location offers significant logistical advantages, situated just 15 miles from Manhattan, 45 miles from Topeka, and approximately 90 minutes from Kansas City. The site provides convenient access to Interstate 70 for east-west transportation and regional connectivity to Interstate 35 for north-south freight movement.
The listing comes as part of Caterpillar's previously announced restructuring plans. The company has been working with local officials to ensure a smooth transition for affected employees as the closure date approaches.
For potential buyers, the property represents a turnkey opportunity in the heart of Kansas, with existing infrastructure that could accommodate various industrial and manufacturing operations. Interested parties can access detailed information about the property through Colliers' comprehensive marketing materials.
