Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
Completely renovated downtown office building with two floors totaling approximately 24,850 square feet. The first floor, about 15,500 square feet, is move-in ready and features a full kitchen, conference rooms, meeting and training rooms, multiple restrooms, and expansive open space. The building includes real exposed brick walls paired with higher-end finishes. A rooftop deck is included on the upper level.
The property is located in the heart of downtown Lafayette in the Historic Downtown District, directly across from the Vermilion parking garage entrance through the park. It is offered for lease or sale as-is, with plans in place to build out the second floor for a tenant or buyer who needs finished additional space, at an additional cost. The second floor, about 9,350 square feet, is wide open with plumbing already in place, suitable for additional open space or storage as-is, or ready for finish-out to match the first floor.
Designed to support business operations, the building includes infrastructure such as heavy electrical capacity, high-speed internet and fiber wiring, and fire sprinkler systems throughout. With an available first-floor configuration suitable for a headquarters-style layout, and an unfinished second floor that can be finished, the property can serve a tenant looking to occupy immediately and expand on-site as needs evolve.
