Dear Restaurateurs, Please Buy This And Open Something Sweet

IMG_3892

A reader pointed me to this ad on ICX last night. It’s 906 Main St. (conveniently close to our new digs) and it’s selling for $2.2 million. Up the block is Campagnolo. Down another is Bao Bei.

This converted Bank of Montreal branch is now a two-level 4,360 sf retail unit that boasts spectacular neo-classical details & unprecedented quality. The unit features natural light, large windows, upgraded electrical, upgraded lighting, two washrooms, elevator, wheelchair access & is vented for a restaurant. The improvements to this heritage building are beautifully finished & only enhance the original structure. Don’t miss this excellent owner/user or investment opportunity.

The “unprecedented quality” hyperbole should be overlooked (the Pantheon still stands in Rome) and the price is on the silly side of ambitious, but it’s pretty swell-looking just the same. Any takers? A few more snaps after the jump…

  1. Sadly last time I looked at this it is a bare shell, services included. That and the prospective restaurateur (and there have been more than a few kicking it’s tires) will have to deal with the city on change of use, sparking up the parking requirement, which will probably kill it.

    I’d have picked this up 6 years ago but my damn lottery numbers still haven’t hit.
