The 6,000 sq. ft. commercial property is located in the heart of the historic district's transition zone, offering over 12,000 square feet of development potential.With its generous footprint, this prime real estate presents a visionary developer with the opportunity to invigorate the downtown core with a multi-use building that harmonizes with the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands and the vibrant character of Friday Harbor. The property features a poured concrete foundation and a concrete roof, with all utilities conveniently in place to facilitate a smooth pre-construction process. There are eight onsite parking spaces and a conditionally approved exterior plan from the Historic Preservation Board.
