A rare investment and multi-unit housing redevelopment opportunity in the heart of downtown Dubuque. Situated on 0.21 acres, this historic brick masonry building—originally constructed in 1876—offers enduring character, architectural charm, and untapped potential. Currently vacant and ready for transformation, the structure can be reimagined. Rear parking provides valuable on-site convenience, and the property’s prime location places it within walking distance of Dubuque’s thriving Main Street district, restaurants, retail, entertainment venues, and more. With exceptional walkability, historic appeal, and flexible redevelopment options, this is an outstanding opportunity for developers seeking to make a lasting impact in one of Iowa’s most architecturally rich and forward-thinking downtowns. Site has a permanent utility, ingress / egress & maintenance easement agreement with the Boy's and Girls’ Club.
