This is part of the larger space of 400 S. Main St., which is being divided in half. The left side is already leased starting April 1st, 2026. The right side is available with approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of retail (potentially restaurant) and backroom space. This space will also include the basement, accessible via stairs. 

Retail rent will be $1,500 per month, with an equal deposit, and includes water for retail businesses only. Tenant is responsible for electric. 

Restaurant is a possibility. If you are interested in operating this space as a restaurant, please contact us. We are beginning to work with the city to develop a restaurant in this space for lease. We are planning to add the basics of a commercial kitchen and bar area.

If you need additional space beyond the included rentable space, an optional 2nd floor (approximately 3,000 sq. ft. +/-) with a large open floor plan and a freight elevator is available. The vintage freight elevator in this building is for freight only and is not rated for passenger use. The elevator is available only to tenants who occupy the 2nd level.
