    Overview

    501 Douglas Street is a restored three-story office building originally constructed in 1919, featuring expansive windows and high ceilings throughout. The first floor includes a spacious open work area or conference room, a kitchenette, and two restrooms. The second floor offers five private offices, an additional open work space, and a restroom. The third floor provides a large conference room or work area plus a restroom. An unfinished basement spans the entire footprint for additional space.

    The property is located in Sioux City, Iowa, at 501 Douglas Street (51101) in Woodbury County. The exterior is associated with a west-side mural titled “Yawar Fiesta,” created by artist Martin Ron, and the building is commonly referred to as the Buffalo Building.

    This configuration suits office tenants seeking a mix of private offices and open collaborative space across multiple floors, along with dedicated restroom access on each level. It can also be leased on an NNN basis, and the ground-floor spaces may be eligible for the Sioux City Downtown Tenant Improvement Program, which may provide financial assistance toward build-out costs. Renovations totaling over $750,000 are described as completed, leaving the building available to move in and operate.
