Overview

The building offers a combined retail-and-garage layout, with an open-concept front retail space and a single ADA restroom for customer convenience. At the rear, the garage space includes a 10x10 garage door, supporting deliveries, storage, or service-related use that benefits from direct loading.

The property is located on S Gilbert St in Iowa City and provides strong street visibility, with almost 7,000 cars per day noted in the listing remarks. Off-street parking is available both in the front and in the back, helping support day-to-day operations and customer access. The property is identified under zoning CC2.

This configuration can fit tenants looking for a storefront with a practical back-of-house component, where retail activity and garage access can work together within one building. The open front can accommodate a range of retail presentations, while the rear garage door creates a separate access point for handling inventory or equipment as part of the business workflow.
