Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1956, this nearly 2,400-square-foot commercial building is recognized for an architecturally distinctive mid-century design. The property is being offered as a blank canvas and will require a complete renovation, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. The seller also reports the building has been vandalized, which should be accounted for in any scope of work.

The property is located at 589 Forest Avenue in Macon, GA, and sits just behind the new River’s Edge development off Riverside Drive. Its setting near established businesses and areas seeing ongoing development can support a range of professional and retail concepts, subject to applicable approvals.

With its existing structure and flexible categorization as an office, retail, medical, or professional space, the building may appeal to owner-occupants and investors looking to reposition a distinctive asset. Prospective tenants, buyers, and developers should plan for comprehensive interior and systems upgrades before use, and confirm final fit based on intended operation and R-3 zoning requirements.

Key Highlights

  • Nearly 2,400 sq ft commercial building built in 1956
