Key Facts
Description
A 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. The current owner also previously secured Grayfield and IDEA grants, adding significant value to the redevelopment process. The property features dedicated off-street parking and the opportunity for outdoor patio space—rare amenities for a downtown property. Architectural plans and renderings are available to qualified Buyers upon execution of an NDA. Owner may also consider leasing to a qualified tenant. Contact Listing Agent for additional information and showing instructions. One member of the ownership entity is a licensed real estate agent in the State of Iowa.
