Property Description

This unique and historic building is being marketed For Sale as the current owner has reached retirement. Originally built in 1925 as the home of Hudson and Essex Auto dealership, the 14,388 square foot one story building is actually two store fronts (1023 and 1027) South Washington and is located at the entrance to REO Town on the East side of S. Washington between Hazel and Elm Streets. There are currently 5 REO Town Marketplace tenants, most on month-to-month leases. The tenants pay $11/sq. ft. and a prorated share of utility charges. The two store fronts are separated by an interior drive accessed through a 12 x12 garage door off South Washington. This allows vehicle access to the large open space in the rear of the building which features 25 ft. ceilings with an exposed steal truss system at 12, with potential for over 6000 square feet of contiguous open space. Parking for 13 vehicles can be found on the north side of the building, and on-street parking is allowed on South Washington. All showings are by appointment, and scheduled in advance. An Environmental study by STS consultants indicates no recognized environmental conditions related to past and present activities on the subject property, with copy available to interested parties. This neighborhood and this building would allow a new owner to express their creativity in a big way. It could also be a space for big art pieces, a personal auto collection, or many other inspired uses.
