A former shirt factory, built circa 1900 ... the property has long since been converted to present-day more modern use. The current owner has occupied the 3rd floor since purchasing the property over 30 years ago, in their over 3,300 square foot, 5-Bdr apartment. Moreover, just below them on the 2nd floor was home to current ownership's dental practice for many years. That business has since ended. The bottom floor is partially occupied by a telephone call center, with the remainder of the basement being ... well, a semi-finished and somewhat cluttered, unoccupied basement.
The opportunity lies in the re-use of the building, either by an investor who manages to see a local market and demand ... an owner who wants to put his own business in the building, just as current ownership did for so many years ... or an extension of that through an owner/occupant. The size, the solid construction "the bones" of the building, and the off street parking offer some enhancement to a genuine opportunity.
The City of Pottsville looks very much forward to hearing and discussing potential uses, investors' ideas, and following the proper channels, process, and protocols for approvals.
