In recent years, the owner of Mahomet-based business The Brush Man has been eager to move into larger facilities. This week, the Mahomet City Council approved an action that will pave the way for this move. The Brush Man, established in 1976 and purchased by Monahan in 2009, is a wholesaler of job-site supplies like brooms, trash bags, and paint brushes.
The nearly 10-acre site on Lake of the Woods Road will not only provide space for Monahan’s business but will also offer build-to-suit office and commercial warehouse sites for other companies. Real estate agent Jill Guth from Guth & Associates in Champaign will be involved in marketing and leasing the spaces at the new location. The number of spaces available is yet to be determined, with the flexibility to combine units for larger needs.
Monahan plans to build a new flex warehouse location on Lake of the Woods Road that will provide ample space for his business and other companies looking for office and storage space. Currently located in west Mahomet, The Brush Man will soon build a facility on Lake of the Woods Road. Monahan has also agreed to buy and keep open the Bankco Overhead Door business located there, retaining all 12 workers at The Brush Man and four at Bankco.
Construction on the new facility is set to begin in the fall. The tenants that will occupy the space could vary from individuals looking to store their vintage car collection to contractor-based businesses in need of office and storage space. This project fills a need to keep businesses in Mahomet while providing additional job opportunities for local residents.
Village Administrator Patrick Brown sees this development as a win-win for Monahan’s company and the village. He is excited about the project because it provides much-needed space for businesses and keeps them within Mahomet’s community.
The initial building for The Brush Man will be 25,000 square feet, with smaller buildings expected around 2,000 square feet throughout
