Bone Dry Shoe Building · Office/Retail Property For Lease · 6,000 SF

The Bone-Dry Shoe Building offers a distinctive leasing opportunity within one of downtown Tacoma’s historic commercial properties. Located along Pacific Avenue, the property combines preserved architectural character with modern building systems and infrastructure, creating an environment well-suited for office, creative, professional service, or customer-facing retail users. Available first-floor space can accommodate a range of occupancy needs and may be demised to support different operational requirements. Originally constructed in 1917 and listed on the Tacoma Register of Historic Places, the building features exposed heavy timber beams and columns, board-form concrete exterior walls, and architectural elements that reflect its industrial heritage. Significant upgrades completed during a comprehensive renovation included the addition of an accessible elevator, seismic improvements, modern HVAC, electrical, security, and plumbing systems, energy-efficient wood/aluminum windows, and a new insulated roof assembly. The property benefits from a downtown location with immediate access to Interstate 705, Interstate 5, and State Route 509, providing convenient connectivity throughout the South Puget Sound region. The nearby Tacoma Light Rail system enhances accessibility for employees and visitors, while on-site parking offers a feature that is uncommon within many downtown urban environments. Surrounded by downtown businesses, services, and civic amenities, the building presents an opportunity for tenants seeking a combination of character, accessibility, and functional workspace in Tacoma’s urban core.
