Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Updated venue located in the historic downtown theatre, gallery & bathhouse district, configured as an auditorium with seating and balcony space. Balcony area is currently not in use but is stubbed out with plumbing and electrical for an upstairs concession, and includes an additional bathroom on the balcony. Improvements cited include newer HVAC with dust-free active technology, electrical updates with grounded stage, plumbing updates including low-flow toilets, a new water heater, newer LED Chauvet lighting, new JBL Pro Audio with digital iLive, stage improvements, seating upgrades, and fully stocked bars with permits. The property also includes a camera system, POS system, refrigeration, and a fire sprinkler system and burglar alarm.
Street access is available both at the front and the back of the building. Public remarks note the property is not in the flood plain, and that it has vehicle and foot traffic exposure roughly two blocks south of a downtown traffic bottleneck, with convenience to parking issues tied to the historic district boundary.
Zoning is listed as RN-1 Res Nbhd 1 District, and public remarks indicate C1 zoning for flexible redevelopment. The venue can also be purchased or assembled with connected 1010 Central Avenue and 1014 Central Avenue (parking lot), as described in the listing materials.
