500 S 8th Street
Active Prime Downtown Redevelopment Opportunity! Unlock the potential of this nearly 20,000 sq. ft. property, ideally located in the heart of the thriving downtown district and just steps from restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and entertainment.

With substantial space, a prime location, and endless possibilities for residential, commercial, or mixed-use development, this property offers the opportunity to create something truly special in the heart of downtown. Whether you’re looking to build a unique rental portfolio, create additional residential units, expand commercial space, or develop a one of a kind mixed use destination, 500 S. 8th Street is a blank canvas with incredible potential.
