Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property comprises a 24,986-square-foot commercial building situated on 2.85 acres and identified by two Suburban Avenue addresses. Its mixed-use profile includes retail-oriented space, while the real estate and the operating flooring business may be acquired together or separately. A separate real estate purchase would result in vacant delivery, allowing the next owner to determine the occupancy plan.

The site has direct visibility from I-94 and sits between White Bear Avenue and Ruth Street in the Saint Paul–Maplewood trade area. The surrounding East Metro area includes retail, service, and healthcare employers and is described as densely populated with established daily traffic activity. The property has been under the same ownership group since 2018 and shows no stated signs of deferred-maintenance distress.
