The space has been delivered vacant and is suitable for retail, office, or owner-user occupancy. Market rent for the ground floor and cellar combined is estimated at approximately $10,000 per month.

At full stabilization using market rents of $10,000 for the ground floor and cellar, $6,500 for the residential duplex, and $4,000 for the parlor-level office, the property offers a projected gross monthly income of approximately $20,500, or $246,000 annually.
