Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 4,500-square-foot storefront property occupies the corner of N Tower Avenue and E Magnolia Street in downtown Centralia. The brick building includes approximately 3,000 feet of open showroom floor, along with an updated second-level office and en suite bath. A slab-on-grade foundation and remaining bank-vault elements reflect the structure’s former civic and banking uses.

The property’s existing drop ceiling and metal-clad window coverings can be removed to create taller ceilings and increase natural light, subject to the owner’s plans and approvals. Its corner setting, open showroom area, and dedicated upper-level office provide a flexible commercial layout within a historic downtown building.
