Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The 2,538-square-foot storefront occupies a brick building constructed in 1911 and is undergoing restoration with new commercial windows and doors. Its interior is offered as an open build-out opportunity, with a front entry arranged to support two separate commercial spaces. Utility service can be separately metered for each portion, and the full premises may also be taken together.

Located in downtown Remsen on a corner lot, the property includes access to free city parking. Basement space is available as an optional addition. The owner is willing to contract for the build-out, and the landlord’s intended lease structure is modified gross.
