Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This multi-level commercial space was previously operated as a bar and is set up for a variety of uses, including restaurant, bar, retail storefront, or office. The layout includes an upper level and a lower level, with the lease also including basement access. Basement storage features two walk-in coolers, supporting day-to-day operations and inventory handling. Recent updates include new hardwood floors on the upper level, new flooring in the bar area, and new epoxy flooring in the rear section of the first floor.

Access is split by entrance location, providing two separate entry points. The upper level can be accessed from 171 West 1st Street, while the lower level has access from 156 Water Street. The property sits in the downtown City of Oswego area, with walkability noted as very walkable and bikeability noted as somewhat bikeable.

For operators seeking flexible space in a walkable downtown setting, this offering supports multiple configurations thanks to its two-level layout and dedicated entrances. The basement walk-in coolers add practical storage capacity for food and beverage use, while the recent flooring improvements help reduce near-term site work. Lease terms are $3,000 per month on a yearly lease structure, with the tenant responsible for electric and gas and the landlord covering water and garbage.
