Avison Young is pleased to present an exceptional opportunity to acquire “The Chocolate Shop” building, located on 6th Street between Broadway and Spring in the Historic Core District of Downtown Los Angeles. This classical turn-of-the-century building contains one of the finest tile installations by the renowned tilemaker Ernest Batchelder. The installation consists of approximately 3,200 square feet of floor to-ceiling hand-crafted tiles, which intricately depict scenes from traditional Dutch life.
The property is improved with a four-story vacant commercial building containing approximately 21,299 of gross square feet that includes 4,287 square feet of usable basement space. This amazing, historical building presents the buyer with an opportunity to realize its true potential by restoring the ground/basement space into an iconic restaurant or speakeasy. The ground floor tile installation is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, providing the buyer with the flexibility to renovate floors 2-4 into office or residential.
