Description

3536 Arsenal Street is a freestanding, single-story masonry building offering 1,540 square feet on a 3,436-square-foot lot in the heart of St. Louis's Tower Grove East neighborhood - and within the South Grand Community Improvement District (CID). Just steps from the vibrant South Grand business district, the property places an owner-user or investor on one of the city's most walkable, amenity-rich commercial corridors, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and nearby Tower Grove Park.

 

Built in 1970 of durable wood-and-brick construction, the building presents a true blank canvas. The interior is raw and ready for a full build-out, giving a buyer the rare chance to design the space around their exact use rather than paying for someone else's finishes. Whether the vision is a boutique storefront, studio, service business, workshop, or creative office, the shell is here and the upside is yours to capture. The roughly 28-foot frontage on Arsenal provides clean signage visibility, and the lot's depth leaves room to explore a rear yard or off-street parking (buyer to verify).

 

Zoning is both a key consideration and an opportunity: the parcel carries the City of St. Louis "B" - Two-Family Dwelling District designation, while its long-standing use has been storage/commercial. Prospective buyers should confirm intended uses, permitting, and any legal nonconforming-use status directly with the City of St. Louis Zoning Section and the CID – Manor Real Estate can help facilitate that diligence.

 

Offered at $225,000 ($146/SF), this is a value-add basis in a neighborhood where finished commercial space commands a premium. For an owner-user ready to control their own real estate, or an investor seeking a reposition in a proven corridor, 3536 Arsenal is a compelling entry point into Tower Grove East and the South Grand CID. Bring your contractor and your vision – this one rewards imagination
