The Motorcoach Store is moving on up.

The luxury motorcoach and RV dealership recently paid $18.3 million for 139,904 square feet of industrial property at 5821 24th St. E. in southern Manatee County.

Planned there are the company’s national headquarters, a full-service luxury RV dealership with 16 service bays and in-house cabinet, upholstery and glass shops.

Company officials plan to launch The Motorcoach Club, a full-service storage and concierge service for luxury, Class-A diesel RV owners. There will be indoor storage available for 88 RVs.

The Motorcoach Store has been operating out of a 18,300-square-foot space at 3231 59th St. E. in Bradenton for the past 13 years.

Nick DeVito II, and Brie Tulp of Ian Black Real Estate represented the buyer. Steve Horn and Melissa Harris of Ian Black Real Estate represented the seller, Avon Cabinet Corporation.

“The Motorcoach Store outgrew its current location several years ago,” Brie Tulp, sales associate at Ian Black Real Estate, said in a press release.

“However, given the limited inventory of industrial space of this size, they had difficulty finding a suitable replacement. This property is the perfect fit, given the size, location and layout of the building,” Tulp said.

Centrally located between downtown Bradenton and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, the property includes 7,500 square feet of office space and a 100,000-square-foot production area with 22 foot ceilings at the peak and 18 foot ceilings at the eaves.

Owners of The Motorcoach Store expect to complete a multi-million dollar renovation early next year.

“We’re looking forward to making this space our own and building what will be the most advanced facility in the country for luxury Class-A diesel RVs,” Bradley Twait, founder of The Motorcoach Store, said in the press release.

“The additional space will allow us to offer an end-to-end experience for luxury RV enthusiasts and provide the high level of service and experience that luxury RVers have come to expect,” Twait said.

Storage will be available to members of The Motorcoach Club. The Motorcoach Club members will have access to VIP service appointments and a white-glove valet service offering RV delivery and pickup anywhere in the country.
