Kimberly-Clark puts mill up for sale ‘unpriced’

Kimberly-Clark officially put its now-closed Everett paper mill up for sale Thursday and says demolition of structures there will commence by summer. The 66.4-acre property is offered “unpriced” through brokers Kidder Mathews and Binswanger.

This PDF has a detailed map of the offered “Everett Marine Industrial Property,” breaking down the mill’s present layout to the hundredth of an acre.

But there is no mention of the fact the city has imposed a moratorium on development of the property, which is presently zoned for heavy manufacturing.

A news release says Kimberly-Clark

plans to commence demolition of the structures on the property by this summer. Kidder Mathews and Binswanger expect this waterfront property to appeal to a wide variety of businesses and industries on a national/international basis, including marine industrial companies who will benefit from the deep-water-port component of the property, the extensive BNSF rail system adjacent to the site, as well as the property’s extraordinary utility capacity and on-site water treatment facility.

Dave Speers, a senior vice president at Kidder Mathews, is quoted as calling the mill property “very rare, major salt-water marine industrial property of significant size.”

Here’s the full news release from the property brokers:
