Buildings for Sale (Residential Conversions)
Many buildings downtown would be appropriate for residential conversion. Already a number of historic buildings including the old Sears Department Store, Lee Hardware, United Jeweler and Ogilvie Hardware have converted to apartments. The former Crystal Oil building is now condos, and 719 Marshall is following suit.
There are a number of buildings still available downtown that would make great residential property as a single family dwelling, condos or apartments or mixed use with commercial/retail on the ground floor. Some of these buildings would qualify for both State and Federal Historic Tax Credits.
These buildings include (but are not limited to):
Petroleum Tower
401 Spring Street
Remember that almost any building downtown could have a residential component to it. 100 years ago, most buildings downtown had a retail space on the ground floor and an office or residence upstairs.
Remember— there are a few small apartments tucked into buildings downtown that are available from time to time. If you are looking for a place, ask us if any of these are available.
