Why 644 2nd Street works for machine shop & cnc fabrication
A machine shop is one of the most demanding tenants in commercial real estate — heavy power, a slab that won't crack under a 20,000-lb VMC, overhead crane room, and dock loading for raw stock. 644 2nd Street's industrial shell was designed for exactly this kind of work and has supported metal trades and fab tenants for decades.
- Heavy 3-phase power for VMCs, HMCs, CNC mills, lathes, plasma cutters, welders, and air compressors
- Clear heights to 20.5 ft — overhead jib or bridge crane installation feasible
- Industrial concrete slab historically suited to heavy machine loads (final spec review for your largest machines is recommended)
- 5 dock + 5 drive-in doors for raw-stock pallets in, finished parts out
- 14-ft garage doors for full-size trucks delivering bar stock and plate
- T1 fiber for CAM file transfer, remote monitoring, and ERP
- $12–$15/SF NNN on a 7,500–15,000 SF machine-shop block
Common use cases
- CNC machine shop (mill + lathe)
- Metal fabrication + welding
- Custom metal job shop
- Plasma + waterjet cutting
- Tool & die shop
- Production machining + contract manufacturing

Frequently asked questions
Is the floor slab rated for heavy CNC machines?
The slab has supported industrial uses since 1956 and is generally suited to standard production machining. For very heavy single-point loads (large HMCs, big presses), we recommend a quick structural review during your buildout.
Can I install an overhead bridge crane?
Yes — clear heights to 20.5 ft and the industrial shell support overhead crane installation. Crane install is a tenant improvement we coordinate during the buildout phase.
How much power can I get for a full shop?
Heavy 3-phase service is available. We've supported tenants in the 400–800 amp 3-phase range with additional capacity available depending on configuration.
