Opportunity Zone Value-Add in Perkins Somerset Oldtown

Positioned at the heart of the city's most ambitious urban renewal project, this 3,465-square-foot, three-story historic structure represents a premier value-add opportunity. Perfectly suited for an owner-user seeking a custom flagship office or an investor looking to capitalize on a high-growth corridor, this property combines the stability of existing rental income with the massive upside of a vacant shell ready for development.

Located in the Perkins Somerset Oldtown (PSO) Transformation District, this building is more than just real estate—it is a gateway to long-term equity. The property is situated within both a federal Opportunity Zone and a local Enterprise Zone, offering a sophisticated buyer unparalleled tax incentives, capital gains deferrals, and economic credits.

Functional Layout & Development Potential

This 1920s brick building offers a unique "hybrid" investment profile, allowing for immediate cash flow while you build out the upper levels:

• First Floor (1,725 SF - Income Generating): The ground floor is currently occupied by a retail tenant, providing a reliable income stream from day one to help offset carrying costs or mortgage payments.

• Upper Floors (1,740 SF - Blank Canvas): The second and third floors have been professionally gutted and are currently in shell condition. This space is ready for a custom interior buildout, whether you envision modern executive office suites, creative lofts, or high-end residential units.

• Architectural Integrity: The building’s classic brick façade has been meticulously re-pointed, ensuring structural longevity and timeless curb appeal.

Modern Infrastructure & Turnkey Support

While the building retains its historic character, the critical infrastructure has been modernized to eliminate the typical "old building" headaches:

• Brand New HVAC: A recently installed climate control system ensures modern efficiency.

• New Roof: The building features a brand-new roof, providing a secure, weather-tight envelope for your interior construction.

• Seller-Contractor Partnership: To streamline your transition, the seller is willing to serve as the general contractor for the new owner. You can purchase this building at an affordable price and have a professional team ready to execute your interior vision based exactly on your business requirements.
