South Perry drug bust garage set for pedestrian-friendly studio-style space
Remember this garage? You know, the one in South Perry that was the site of a massive drug bust almost exactly a year ago? Well, it's now on the market, and new owner NAI Black (think Dave Black) is looking for businesses that would be interested in moving into a brand new studio-style space. Zoned CC1-NC (Neighborhood Commercial within a "pedestrian-oriented, auto-accommodating" District Center), the 11,700 sf parcel is set for a pretty nice-looking 5,000 sf building with two suites that should fit in well with the new Perry Street Brewing/Woolnik's Building. There's a nice, wide sidewalk, street trees, garage-style doors, and a small parking lot in the rear. And while it's unclear right now which businesses James Black is eyeing as tenants, dining, retail, and office (think architecture studio) is all on the table.
We're excited to see how quickly tenants are lined up; South Perry is a popular neighborhood, and existing, high-quality space there is relatively sparse. This is an excellent opportunity for new development on a blighted parcel. Now if someone could just fill in the hole across the street with a mixed-use retail + apartment/condo building...
