The center is currently occupied by a diversified tenant mix, providing consistent monthly cash flow: Massage Therapist - $725/month Paint & Sip Studio - $650/month Retail Store - $875/month Tax Specialist - $800/month Music Studio - $650/month Property is being sold due to the owner's retirement, presenting an opportunity to acquire a proven commercial investment recently appraised at over $500,000 at a significantly reduced asking price of $385,000-built-in equity from day one. Property is being offered as-is. Recent capital improvements include a new roof on Building 1 and a brand-new parking lot, minimizing near-term capital expenditures and enhancing long-term asset stability. Located within a Business Enterprise District, the property benefits from significant tax incentives, including sales tax frozen for the first five years and 50% frozen for the following five years, enhancing operating income potential. Investor-friendly features include ground-level units with no stairs, ample free parking, and three curb cuts allowing easy ingress and egress-supporting tenant retention and broad usability. The layout also allows for rent optimization and future repositioning. Additionally, approximately 9.5 acres of adjacent land, owned by the City of Carbondale, is available for purchase, offering potential for expansion, redevelopment, or value-add strategies. This is a rare opportunity to secure a high-visibility, cash-flowing commercial property with tax advantages, capital improvements already completed, and meaningful upside in a growing Carbondale corridor.
