With soaring 25-foot ceilings and an intricate exposed steel truss system, the space is perfectly suited for a single-user operation that requires both scale and style.Drive-In Access: The original 12’x12’ interior drive remains functional, allowing you to bring vehicles, heavy equipment, or large-scale art installations directly from Washington Avenue into the core of the building.Climate & Power: Stay operational year-round with efficient radiant ceiling heat and a robust electrical setup featuring two separate services, offering enough juice for high-demand fabrication, brewing, or tech infrastructure.The Showroom EdgeThe street-facing portion of the building provides the "face" your business deserves.Terrazzo Elegance: The dual storefronts features stunning, original terrazzo flooring, providing an immediate high-end feel for a flagship lobby, showroom, or executive gallery.Glass & Visibility: Large storefront windows offer maximum exposure at the gateway to the REO Town district, capturing the attention of the neighborhood's growing foot traffic and creative professional demographic.Rare REO Town AmenitiesIn a district where parking is a premium, this property stands alone. Included in the .425-acre footprint is a dedicated off-street parking lot directly adjacent to the building.
