Located in the heart of Downtown Jackson, Michigan, The Blake Building is a landmark office tower boasting a highly sought-after address steps from City Hall. The 14-story red brick building was originally constructed in 1925 and underwent extensive renovations from 2003 to 2005 following the purchase of the property by the current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Blake. The west side of the building faces Bucky Harris Park, Blackman Park, City Square, and is adorned with a vibrant mural. The first floor is the home of “Apricot Lane,” a women's boutique clothing store. The sophisticated lobby boasts travertine marble covering the side walls and floor which was quarried at Tivoli outside of Rome, Italy. The original manual elevators were replaced with modern elevators in 2013, though the original bronze elevator doors still remain. The light-filled offices feature massive windows offering panoramic views of all of Downtown Jackson. Surrounded by amenities, The Blake Building is steps from local favorites such as The Dirty Bird, Grand River Brewery, and Bella Notte. Strategically located along the downtown's main thoroughfare, The Blake Building offers an easy commute with immediate access to Louis Glick Highway and Washington Avenue, and a ten-minute walk to Jackson Station. Once known for manufacturing alone, Jackson now features a highly talented and diversified workforce with specialties in industries such as health care, biotechnology, engineering, and manufacturing.
