    Overview

    The O’Neill Block is an 18,285 SF mixed-use building in Dubuque’s Old Main Historic District, with two fully built-out commercial spaces on the main floor. A 4,062 SF restaurant/bar includes a 6,092 SF finished lower-level bar that previously operated as 1st & Main. The second main-floor space is a 2,031 SF bar/retail area formerly known as Esther’s Lounge. The upper two floors provide more than 12,000 SF of redevelopment potential, offering a blank-slate footprint for apartments, condominiums, boutique offices, or creative workspaces, based on the buyer’s design plan.

    The property is zoned C-4 and is located within the Dubuque Opportunity Zone. The remarks indicate it may qualify for Historic Tax Credits, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), and City of Dubuque housing and facade incentives. It is described as being positioned just one block from the Highway 20/61/151 corridor, with very close proximity to the Five Flags Center and nearby hotels, including Hotel Julien Dubuque and Holiday Inn Dubuque/Galena.

    For buyers and operators, the configuration supports hospitality use with existing built-out spaces that can be leased or continued, while also allowing conversion or expansion into alternative commercial concepts. The substantial upper-floor area broadens tenant and end-user options for residential and light commercial redevelopment within a centrally located downtown setting.
