123–125 East Buffalo Street | Downtown Ithaca Commercial & Parking Investment Opportunity
Rare opportunity to acquire a strategically positioned two-parcel commercial assemblage in the heart of Downtown Ithaca, within easy walking distance of the Ithaca Commons and surrounded by hotels, restaurants, retail, offices, entertainment and downtown destinations.
123–125 East Buffalo Street features a 264± SF former bank drive-through kiosk together with an adjacent 0.22± acre paved parking lot. The combined property currently provides approximately 18 parking spaces, established curb cuts and existing drive-through infrastructure in a highly walkable downtown location where dedicated off-street parking is a valuable and increasingly scarce amenity.
Significant Parking & Income Potential
In addition to continued use of the existing improvements, the property presents a compelling opportunity for an investor or operator focused on downtown parking. Removal of the small existing kiosk could potentially allow the site to be reconfigured to accommodate approximately 28 parking spaces, subject to final layout, municipal approvals and existing easements.
The property's location within walking distance of the Ithaca Commons, downtown businesses, restaurants, hotels and other commercial destinations creates an opportunity to explore a cash-flowing surface parking operation serving multiple sources of downtown parking demand. Potential revenue strategies could include monthly contract parking, employee and business parking, hotel-related parking arrangements, and daily or transient parking.
With a relatively small existing structure, a purchaser can evaluate the economics of maintaining the current commercial configuration or removing the kiosk and maximizing the property's parking capacity and income potential.
The property's CBD-85 zoning further enhances its long-term strategic value, making this a particularly unusual opportunity to control a two-parcel assemblage with dedicated parking in Downtown Ithaca.
