The subject property is located within the East Village portion of the Central Business District (CBD). This area is bordered by the Interdispersal Loop on the east, of 2nd Street on
the north, 11th Street on the south, and Detroit Avenue on the West. It is just to the east
from the CBD and has encountered several major development plans which have not materialized. It was one of the original multi-use development sectors of the city and contains a
combination of industrial, retail, and multi-family properties. It is gradually being redeveloped for office and loft type improvements on a sporadic basis at this date.
Vacant land is encountered throughout the area where older improvements have been razed
and would be available for redevelopment or utilization with adjoining property. This
neighborhood is well located to the CBD and convenient to shopping, schools and employment opportunities.
