The building’s history, prominent location, multiple suite sizes, and combination of customer-facing and professional space create options for restaurants, retailers, service businesses, nonprofits, creative organizations, and office users. Prospective tenants should confirm the final suite configuration, operating expenses, improvement allowance, delivery condition, signage rights, parking allocation, and lease terms for the specific space under consideration.
