Built in 1967, masonry and steel construction, the subject property covers 1.70 acres across two parcels and offers 100 onsite parking spaces, including five ADA-compliant spots. The subject property is zoned B-2 and features a flexible layout ideal for a variety of commercial uses.
Recent CapEx improvements include a new roof (2019), chiller replacement (2024), and a well-maintained HVAC system with 15 individual temperature zones.

Tenant amenities also include LED parking lot lighting and remodeled common areas.
The current tenant mix includes law offices, a travel agency, and salon services, establishing a stable service tenant base. Occupancy is 55.31%, though the building has historically maintained higher levels.
