Hi Henry,
Thank you for the call and nice to speak with you. Please see attached marketing brochure for the property at 627 S Kansas Ave in Topeka for your review.
Would love to hear about your thoughts / plans for the building which is for sale or for lease.
Owners prefer to land a tenant vs the sale but are considering everything. There is no dedicated parking but there are several public parking garages and parking lots within quick walking distance. There is public parking on both sides of the street on Kansas Ave. There is an opportunity to pick up some private parking if the right deal comes together.
There is also a Multi-Family conversion opportunity here.
Our asking sales price is $2.85M
Key Highlights:
• Historic Tax Credits & Opportunity Zone: The buildings have been approved for federal and state historic tax credits and lie in an Opportunity Zone—offering valuable financial incentives.
• Prime Location: Situated on what's considered the most desirable intersection in downtown Topeka, only minutes from government offices.
• Iconic Topeka History:
o 635 S. Kansas Avenue: Built in 1926, formerly Wolfe's Camera Store—a Topeka landmark for 45 years.
o 627 S. Kansas Avenue: Historically served as an F.W. Woolworth 5, 10 and 15 cent store from 1904 to the early 1970s.
• Flexible & Attractive Lease Terms: We can offer a long-term lease with predictable costs, robust tenant improvement allowances, and flexible lease structures tailored to your specific requirements. This approach ensures that your agency or department can efficiently configure the space to best serve its operational needs.
• Modernized Facilities & Systems: While preserving each building's historic character and charm, we will fully modernize all interiors and building systems to meet contemporary standards. From HVAC and electrical upgrades to security enhancements, our goal is to create a comfortable, efficient environment that supports your workforce and adapts to future growth.
Flexibility of Uses: Offering open floor plans and robust structural integrity, Astra on Kansas can be tailored to a multitude of agency needs—from traditional offices or specialized labs to data centers, training facilities, or secure storage. With generous tenant improvement allowances to help transform this location into a long term asset for a potential tenant.
