    Overview

    This for-sale mixed-use property consists of three commercial parcels and combines leased multifamily units with commercial space. The multi-family component is fully leased on month-to-month terms, offering current rental income with flexibility. On the commercial side, current tenants include Old Screen Printers, Summer of the Arts, and Drip Couture. The Coin Shop space is scheduled to be vacated in July, creating an opening for owner use or a new tenant.

    Located in the heart of Iowa City and described as high-visibility, the property offers strong traffic exposure and excellent accessibility. It is positioned just minutes from the University of Iowa campus and is also close to shopping, dining, entertainment, and public transportation. Ample parking supports convenient customer and tenant access.

    For an owner-occupant or investor, the configuration can accommodate multiple operating strategies, including retail, mixed-use redevelopment, office use, and restaurant concepts, subject to applicable approvals. With month-to-month multifamily leases and a commercial vacancy planned for July, buyers have a clear path to manage near-term occupancy while evaluating longer-term repositioning options.
