A potential adaptive reuse project is now at hand. A circa 1917, 40,000 SF former manufacturing facility for the John Strootman Shoe Company is now available for $1,164,000.
With 9,000 +/- SF on each floor, open floor plates, and high, 15 foot ceilings, there’s plenty to work with, to transition the building into something that would majorly benefit the neighborhood.
Located at 588 Monroe Street and 34 Brown Street, the investment opportunity is described as possessing “a well-maintained building featuring (2) two dock doors, on-site parking, and a large freight elevator.”
From the listing:
Located in the “up and coming” neighborhood surrounding Jefferson Ave. and Genesee St, these two adjoining parcels; 588 Monroe Ave., offer tremendous opportunity for an Adaptive Reuse project. Each floor is lined with large windows boasting natural light on every level, including the “semi-below grade basement.” Visible from Genesee St., the primary entrance is situated off of Brown St., presenting as a welcoming and neighborhood-friendly “Front Door” to the active community.
