Description

Rare opportunity to transform one of Mount Vernon's most iconic historic buildings. Located in the heart of downtown, this former fire station offers exceptional potential for a brewery, restaurant, retail, office, or other commercial use. Ownership has completed significant due diligence, including a brewery/restaurant concept that was fully designed and previously approved by the City, saving a future owner valuable time and expense. Current owner also previously secured Grayfield and IDEA grants, adding significant value to the redevelopment process. Included: dedicated off-street parking and the opportunity for outdoor patio space—rare amenities for a downtown property. Architectural plans/renderings are available to qualified buyers upon execution of an NDA. Owner may consider a lease. Contact LA for additional info and showing instructions. A member of the ownership entity is a licensed Realtor in the state of IA.
