Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
1501 Oretha C. Haley Boulevard is a substantial two-level, all-brick and masonry commercial building positioned on a prominent corner. The property is currently in need of a full renovation, presenting a blank-canvas opportunity for investors or operators looking to restore historic character and reimagine the space for modern use.
The site sits on an approximately 64' wide by 127' deep lot and benefits from commanding street presence and visibility associated with corner positioning. It is served by MU-2 Mixed Use zoning, which is designed to support a broad range of potential uses. An adjoining side lot provides the added benefit of secure off-street parking, a practical advantage for commercial tenants and customers in this area.
Given the MU-2 zoning and flexible use potential, this property can be a fit for a variety of concepts, including restaurant or cafe use, coffee shop or bar/lounge, retail storefront, professional office space, an art gallery or creative studio, or residential and live/work formats (subject to city approvals). The building’s historic eligibility for Historic Tax Credits may also help support redevelopment and adaptive reuse plans, making it well-suited for buyers seeking long-term upside in an evolving corridor.
