Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This historic downtown building totals 11,750 SF across two street addresses (215 + 223 Commerce) and is offered as one property under a single transaction. The building is currently 100% occupied by four active tenants. A turnkey commercial kitchen and bar build-out is in place for Ole Crow Tavern, and the property also includes a working craft distillery with a tasting room for King City Distillery.

The 223 Commerce gym bay features industrial-size overhead doors described as drive-in capable, supporting flexible operations for the right tenant. The property is located in a B-2 Central Business District area and is positioned for reuse considerations associated with that zoning classification. It is identified as being in a Qualified Federal Opportunity Zone, and reference is also made to a TIF District and PILOT District, along with a Tennessee Main Street boundary.

For buyers and operators, the combination of existing food-and-beverage build-out, an active distillery/tasting room, and the drive-in capable overhead doors can reduce early-site improvements and support established hospitality or related uses. Additional program eligibility is referenced, including potential façade grant, redevelopment grant, and a Downtown Kingsport loan program. Flood Zone B/X is noted as outside the 100-year floodplain, with the buyer asked to verify.
