Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This lower-level suite offers flexible space that previously supported a fitness tenant and can accommodate a range of commercial uses, including retail or office. The premises are set up with existing men's and women's bathrooms, and the available area can include storage. Prospective tenants should expect to complete some build-out to suit their specific operational needs.

The property is situated in the center of a pedestrian mall, directly across the street from the Old Capitol building. The unit benefits from substantial walk-by activity from University of Iowa students during the school year. Target is located upstairs in the same building, and Hands Jewelers and a Cactus Mexican restaurant are next door.

With its existing restrooms and the option for space that includes storage, the suite can work for businesses looking for a downtown-oriented footprint with high pedestrian exposure. Because the unit will require tenant build-out, it is best suited for operators and retailers comfortable planning interior improvements to match their concept and layout requirements.

Key Highlights

  • Lower‑level commercial space in the center of the Pedestrian Mall, across the street from the Old Capitol building
  • Former Gold’s Gym/319 Fitness lower level; commercial, retail, or office uses could occupy the space
  • Up to 11,000 sq ft available, including storage and existing men’s/women’s bathrooms
