Investor/Developer Opportunity! Located in a designated Opportunity Zone. This property is just under an acre, sits in beautiful Downtown Lawrence, Kansas and includes two buildings, and off-street parking. It's located across the street from City Hall, and steps away from shopping, numerous casual and fine dining restaurants, bars, entertainment, art venues, the Lawrence Library, and the Kansas River. The property has history and has potential to be registered with the State and National Historic registries, and receive both state and federal tax credits for redevelopment. The property was originally developed and housed the Wright Brothers Shirt Factory, and then was purchased by the Reuter Organ Company (approx. 1919). The Reuter Co. eventually improved/expanded the building and flourished on-site until they eventually relocated to another facility in Lawrence (2001).

The top floor has spectacular views of the Kansas River, downtown, and surrounding neighborhoods. The smaller building ("Little Red") is perfect for office or retail.
