The location offers alongside generous street parking and nearby city lots"”a rarity for the downtown area. The building comprises 5 distinct office units with a grand total of 5 private closed-door office rooms, 3 bathrooms, 6 oversized general-flex rooms, 3 balconies, 2 patios, and a secure garage/storage room. Each office unit can be operated/leased independently or utilized as one cohesive space. The Ross Building places you just steps away from Downtown SLO and its vibrant local cafes, retail, and dining. Ideal for a professional firm seeking an immediate, high-end headquarters, this versatile asset also presents compelling long-term upside. Situated directly across from the Marsh Street Brownstones residential development, buyers are encouraged to explore zoning with the city for the potential future conversion of spaces into residential condos or luxury apartments.
