Since 1979, Coca-Cola Bottling Company UNITED has sat at 4600 East Lake Boulevard—one of the first things welcoming you into the Magic City when you fly into BHM.

After the announcement of Coca-Cola UNITED’s new campus, things were up in the air for the East Lake property. Now, the campus is officially on the market.

Local commercial real estate firm Graham & Company will list the property, according to a press release from Coca-Cola UNITED.

“This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-located, large-scale campus with significant infrastructure already in place. Its proximity to the airport and major transportation corridors makes it highly attractive for a variety of industrial, logistics or corporate users.

We are honored to partner with Coca-Cola UNITED to bring this property to market.”
