The highly visible, masonry-constructed property conveniently includes an on-site covered lot and surface parking options accommodating 85 cars, with an elevator servicing all floors. Built in 1986, the property's first floor was a former bank equipped with a vault and serves as a blank slate unfinished space ready for the next business’ desirable build-out. The second and third floors are finished office spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows offering picturesque views of the scenic Thames River. Each floor also includes ADA-compliant bathrooms, ensuring accessibility and convenience for all future tenants and guests.

This strengthening submarket has ideally experienced a decrease in vacancies paired with lowering side-supply pressures allowing annual rental growth to increase.
