1st Floor Ste Retail 2,100 SF Rate Upon Request 
The First Floor space in the Arts Bank was once a café with a cabaret that hosted art shows and small performances. It is currently configured with a small stage, light/sound control room, two bathrooms,a kitchenette, green room, and some storage areas. This space has its own doors that open out to Broad Street, along with store windows that also face Broad Street, allowing it to be accessed without entering the rest of the building. This space has a lot of potential to become a great new retail space on Broad Street. There are few load-bearing demising walls in the space, and if cleared, could open it up to become a huge variety of uses! This space has direct access to the building's finished basement and garage, which can be added as annexes to the space.

Description 

MPN Realty Inc is proud to present the Arts Bank, a 15,000 square foot building on the Avenue of the Arts at 601 South Broad Street. This building is available for lease for the first time in over 30 years! Located on both the famous Avenue of the Arts and the South Street Commercial Corridor, this building offers the opportunity to lease in a unique building with high visibility on two prominent commercial corridors. Built in 1929 under the designs of famous architect Ralph Bencker, it was originally built as the Southwestern National Bank. In 1993, it was transformed by a partnership of the University of the Arts and the William Penn Foundation into a modern theater with a ground floor commercial space and dance studio on the top floor. After the sudden closure of the University of the Arts, it is now open to exciting new possibilities! The building can be leased in whole or in part. The building has a finished basement and garage that can serve as annexes to the leasable spaces.
