Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The Taylor Building is a historic retail structure built in 1897 and designed in the Classical Revival style by architect William Weeks. The façade includes three Edwardian bay windows along the front of the second floor, with a roof parapet originally crowned by anthemion details that were later modified with the Taylor name. The ground floor retail space is wide open with high ceilings. After the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, the building received a structural retrofit, and the second floor is now vacant with the lath and plaster removed while original redwood framing remains in place.
Located along Main Street in the Downtown Core of Watsonville, the property sits among other downtown sites undergoing restoration and redevelopment with new housing and commercial uses.
With the upper level currently open and supported by preserved framing, the building offers a flexible interior configuration for a new owner looking to reposition the asset within the downtown retail environment.
