Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This two-story brick property occupies a corner lot and combines multiple storefront buildings with office areas, a former bank space, a partially finished basement, and several bathroom and kitchenette areas. The building is currently configured for office use, while the first floor can accommodate retail storefronts and portions of the upper level may be converted to residential use. Much of the interior features 14- to 16-foot ceilings, tin ceilings, and preserved original details. The second floor above 20 Douglas is unfinished and vacant.

Building improvements include roofs installed within the past 4 years with 6-inch insulation, updated HVAC, copper electrical wiring, new exterior paint, and Pella windows with 1-inch glass in many openings. A Generac backup generator serves the property, and the upgraded water main is set up for future sprinkler installation. The property includes 20, 22, and 24 Douglas Avenue, 113 E. Highland Avenue, and the former bank space at 115 E. Highland Avenue. Construction dates to 1881.
