221 East Hickory Street is an approximately 28,000 square foot operating data center and office facility located in downtown Mankato, Minnesota, offered at $3,450,000. Originally constructed in 1963 and continuously upgraded for telecommunications and technology use, the Class A building sits on a 0.75-acre site with on-site parking and efficient circulation. The facility currently houses Consolidated Communications' Mankato data center operations and features raised floor environments, redundant power distribution, resilient HVAC, advanced fire suppression, and secure cabinet space designed for high-uptime network and equipment reliability. The property's specialized infrastructure—including life-safety systems, power redundancy, and technical spaces built for always-on operations—supports mission-critical users while minimizing near-term capital requirements for an incoming owner. Flexible floor plates accommodate a range of occupiers, from telecommunications and ISP providers to technology and professional services tenants. The downtown location provides direct connectivity via Madison Avenue, Riverfront Drive, and Highway 169, with immediate access to the Blue Earth County trade area and proximity to financial, civic, and professional service anchors along the Mankato riverfront business district. The combination of functional technical spaces, immediate cash flow potential, and limited supply of comparable mission-critical facilities in the regional market positions this asset for both operational continuity and long-term value preservation in a growing southern Minnesota technology corridor.
