The structure is solid masonry with thick load-bearing walls, tall ceiling clearances, and large window openings that bring in significant natural light — features that are difficult and costly to replicate in new construction. The building's original purpose also left it with a robust electrical service and power distribution capacity well beyond what is typical for a space of this size, making it particularly well suited to tenants with above-average power demands. The space is currently offered in shell condition, giving an incoming tenant a blank canvas to design a buildout specific to their use, supported by ownership's $750,000 TI allowance. The site includes 33 shared surface parking spaces, providing ample on-site parking relative to the building's footprint — a meaningful advantage in a submarket where parking is often constrained.
