Mixed-Use
Barristers' Building
29 W Main St, Meriden, CT 06451
Listing Price: $819,000
Investment Overview
Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present 29 West Main Street in Meriden, Connecticut, an 8,529 SF, three-story commercial building located in the heart of downtown. Positioned on a corner lot within Meriden’s historic district, the property offers a rare combination of classic architecture, functional layout, and modern accessibility.
Located directly across from the courthouse and police station, the building features two ground-floor commercial units and two upper floors of office space. It includes large windows, a wide staircase, an elevator, and a full, dry basement. The property is serviced by natural gas and currently configured with six gas meters and seven electric meters (six tenant, one landlord). It also offers four private, off-street parking spaces.
This property is ideal for an owner-user, such as a law firm or other professional service, and is within walking distance to Amtrak, making it a strong candidate for residential conversion. The office levels can remain subdivided or be opened up for a larger single-user layout, all while generating income from the street-level commercial tenants.
29?West?Main?Street offers a rare blend of historic charm, central location, and strategic positioning amid Meriden’s broader commercial revitalization. Whether you're an owner-user or investor, this asset stands out for its adaptability, visibility, and long-term upside in a resurging market.
