Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This historic masonry retail storefront has been substantially renovated and offers a blank-slate interior for a new tenant or owner. The property has been gutted, with renovations completed including new windows, new electrical panels, a new water supply line, spray foam insulation under the roof decking, and a 10-year roof coating. The commercial space is approximately 1,100 square feet on the first floor and can be re-imagined for a range of uses. An upstairs apartment has also been newly redesigned, adding a live/work option for appropriate operators.
The building is located in Independence, Louisiana and is zoned Comm. It sits on two city lots, which can support redevelopment ideas and may allow for additional planning flexibility on the site.
With the first-floor area positioned for retail or service-oriented concepts, this property can fit buyers and operators seeking a distinctive storefront that is already refreshed with key building systems and exterior upgrades. The combination of a reconfigurable downstairs space and a renovated upstairs unit can be especially useful for businesses that prefer to have their operating space and residence under one roof, subject to applicable approvals and intended use.
