Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This three-story brick building, known as the Ludescher Building, offers distinct architectural detailing and a neighborhood corner commercial layout. The property features a new roof, tall ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a full basement. A bar on the main level remains, and there is also a walk-in cooler located in the back, supporting continued food-and-beverage use or conversion for another concept. The building includes approximately 1,892 SF on the main level and 1,364 SF each on the second and third floors.
Located in the Historic Millwork District at 1097 Jackson Street, the building sits on the corner of 11th and Jackson Streets. Zoned PC, it is positioned as a multi-level commercial property suited to owners or operators looking for a locally recognizable structure with character and redevelopment flexibility.
For buyers seeking a redevelopment project or an owner-operator space, the retained bar and walk-in cooler on the main level can reduce near-term buildout requirements for hospitality and related uses. With three floors plus a full basement, the property can support multiple income-producing layouts or a dedicated operational footprint while expanding usable space vertically.
