For Sale is a 20,000 sq ft commercial mixed-use building in the heart of Wilkes Barre, seconds away from Wilkes University and a few blocks from Kings College. The property's present use is a vacant turn-key 12,000 sq ft bar/restaurant fully loaded with multiple bars and kitchens, 100k sound and lighting system, massive LED screen, furniture, commercial refrigerators, etc. Upstairs are two 3 bed/1 bath 2000 sq ft apartments in excellent condition. The 4k sq ft partially finished basement is perfect for storage needs. The property has a sprinkler system and central air/heat. Very versatile building in an ideal location with two of the region's major colleges within a quarter mile. Best uses would be to continue bar/restaurant or other retail operations on first floor with apartments upstairs, or a total conversion to residential to accommodate student housing. Additional floors can be added to the property, so the sky is the limit (literally). This is a great opportunity for a savvy investor/developer to capitalize on the area's student housing needs or for a bar/restaurant to take their business to the next level with income potential from the upstairs residential units, however many you choose to have.
