Prominently positioned on a corner in the heart of Manchester, this historic two-story building offers a unique opportunity to lease space in one of the neighborhood’s most recognizable landmarks — the former Thalhimer Department Store.

The property features three floors of leasable space, including a partially finished, fully sprinklered basement with direct access from 12th Street, as well as a mezzanine level that enhances the building’s open, flexible layout. Renovated nearly 15 years ago, the building was thoughtfully restored to serve as the headquarters for local nonprofit Veterans Liberation Services, blending modern infrastructure with enduring architectural character.

Situated along Hull Street, one of Manchester’s most prominent commercial corridors, the property enjoys strong visibility and access to the neighborhood’s growing residential population and influx of new businesses such as Sassy’s, Scharolina’s Cakes, Bolo’s Eatery, and Philly Vegan. The history of The Venus Theater, located next to the Hull Street Library, adds a distinctive sense of place and storytelling opportunity for future tenants, while the property’s scale and adaptability allow for impactful design and use flexibility. This is a unique chance to establish a destination business in a building that combines history, character, and modern readiness at the center of Manchester’s ongoing transformation.
