Have you ever wondered what sits behind the “For Lease” signs in the windows downtown?
I’ve always thought that it’d be interesting to walk within those spaces and imagine new businesses flourishing behind those signs.
As a downtown entrepreneur, the curiosity these vacancies foster has lead to a new feature for the Downtown WO Blog called “Moving In”.
In the interest of showing a clearer vision of downtown Windsor, the WO Blog will attempt to better acquaint entrepreneurs with their property opportunities in the downtown.
One of the driving forces of entrepreneurship and new business flourishing is vision. When you can’t see inside a vacant storefront, you can’t imagine the possibilities. If the entrepreneurial mind can walk through a potential business space, it can envision the transformation of a shell into a viable vocation.
Over time, Moving In will offer short guided tours of downtown spaces for sale or for lease. The curiosity of a potential downtown property owner in Windsor or from out of town can be satisfied from your keyboard.
For our introductory piece, I was able to meet with Mark Lalovich of of RE/MAX Preferred Realty. Mark was a great host, taking time to show me a few spaces he’s listing. He knows what used to be in the spaces, what they were outfitted for originally, and what kind of use they would accommodate with little or no infrastructure overhaul needed.
We took a look at a third floor vacancy at 633 Ouellette Avenue, steps away from the intersection of Wyandotte and Ouellette. Everything about the property is on the video, including costs etc. Take a look.
Mark Lalovich can be reached at (519) 966-0444 or marklalovich@remax-preferred-on.com for appointments regarding any of the downtown properties he represents.
Thanks Mark for taking the time to show me around the spaces of future downtown neighbours.
