Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
A two-building, connected commercial complex with a historic street presence and exceptionally maintained character. The ground floor provides an expansive retail showroom currently operating as a full-service department store, with the upper level featuring two finished residential apartments plus multiple private office spaces.
The property is offered as a combination of the buildings and Ford’s Department Store (including the ongoing operation through transition). The seller notes that there are two deeds for each building included in the offering, and the listing can also be pursued as building-only or business-only under separate MLS identifiers.
As a fully equipped going-concern, Ford’s Department Store includes active retail operations, experienced staff, an established point-of-sale system, and fixtures and equipment. Retail inventory is estimated at $700,000 (at retail value), with ownership continuing to actively replenish inventory through the transition.
