GARY, IN, UNITED STATES, May 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Matanky Realty Group has completed the swift sale of 8002 E Melton Road in Gary, Indiana. The 80,000‑square‑foot property sits on 5.76 acres and moved from signed contract to closing in roughly fourteen days. Terri Cox, Senior Vice President of Sales at Matanky Realty Group, represented the seller in the transaction. Marketed at $1.5 million, the building was originally a Zayre Department Store and has housed City Sports and complementary retailers for the past two decades. It has now been acquired by a private buyer who will convert part of the site into a semi‑truck repair and warehousing hub while maintaining the existing retail operations.
With direct access to I‑90, I‑94, and the Indiana Toll Road, the property offers prime connectivity for regional logistics users and anchors a growing truck‑stop corridor serving Northwest Indiana and Greater Chicago. The acquisition of 5.76 acres below replacement cost gave the buyer expansion flexibility and strengthened Gary’s transportation‑services cluster.
