Whether you’re seeking a prime investment or the perfect place to launch your own business while enjoying steady rental income ($3,000 per month,) this gem delivers on every front. Painstakingly restored to its original glory, the building showcases stunning exposed brick, original tin ceilings, and architectural details that transport you to another era. Upstairs, two luxury apartments offer chic urban living, combining modern convenience with timeless character perfect for generating high-end rental income. Immersed in history, this landmark was once knows the largest department store in Iowa outside of Sioux City west of the Mississippi and proudly sits on the very first paved street in the state. Today, it occupies a marquee location in the “Ice Cream Capital of the World,” boasting unmatched visibility on one of the busiest thoroughfares into downtown. Your brand will shine here, with exposure equivalent to a towering billboard greeting thousands daily.
