875 Ouellette Avenue – 3rd Floor

Friday, May 28th, 2010

On our first visit to 875 Ouellette (across from the Windsor Public Library), Mark Lalovich of RE/MAX Preferred Realty and I visited the front side of the building on the first floor. But this building has loads of office space available on upper floors. So I took a look at them with Mark Lalovich.

What you’ll see from the video is the great view of Pelissier Street and Elliott Street from anywhere on the west side of the rental unit. It’s close to 1450 square feet. Mark calls this kind of bare location a “vanilla box”, because it’s ready for any kind of renovation. It’s going for between $6.50 and $8.50 per square foot including utilities. So, it’d be about $2000 per month. Gated parking is available to rent-holders.

The other great thing about this space is the limited energy needs in the latter half of the day. Being on the west side of the building, the sun pours in through the large bank of windows, limiting the use for lighting.

Mark Lalovich of RE/MAX Preferred Realty can be reached at (519) 966-0444 or marklalovich@remax-preferred-on.com for appointments regarding any of the downtown properties he represents.

Moving In: 433 Ouellette Avenue

Monday, May 17th, 2010

This week’s Moving In focuses once again on Ouellette Avenue in the same building that Miller Canfield Law calls home.

433 Ouellette Avenue used to be a Shopper’s Drug Mart eight years ago or so, and now is one large open space waiting for an idea.

I met with Mark Lalovich of RE/MAX Preferred Realty in February, and we slowly made it through all these potential profitable spaces on that cold winter day. In fact, this is the absolute last video from that day of real estate hopping.

The video is below, and I thought the rent levels were going to be mentioned in this tour. Upon further inspection, they are not mentioned. This is why I’ve included Mark Lalovich’s e-mail and phone number below, so you can ask him yourself. I do know that the owners are willing to share the cost of renovations for the space.

Moving In: 875 Ouellette Avenue

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

This week’s Moving In focuses on Ouellette Avenue…near the Main Branch of the Windsor Public Library.

875 Ouellette Avenue is the exact property address, but there are already many tenants in the space.. It’s a multi-storey building…and this rental space is in the bottom front section.

I met with Mark Lalovich of RE/MAX Preferred Realty in April for a fresh batch of property viewings. Mark showed me a collection of spaces all within the same general area, just south of the downtown core.

The video is below, with all the rent details being mentioned during the tour. The area of the space is 2643 square feet. I believe they are asking $10 per square foot, and are willing to share the cost of renovations for the space.

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.

Moving In: 479 & 481 Ouellette Avenue

Friday, April 30th, 2010

This week’s Moving In focuses on two properties that are considered one.

479 & 481 Ouellette Avenue, the former home of Visions of Canada.

I met with Mark Lalovich of of RE/MAX Preferred Realty in February. Mark showed me a collection of properties that I am still making my way through now. In fact, I even reference that Dr. Disc will eventually be moving to their new home…which, of course, has already happened. Now, this property has a heavy-hitting neighbour to boost its value.

The videos are below, in two parts, thanks to batteries dying in the middle of our tour.

Moving In – 85 Wyandotte Street West

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

The feeling of downtown entrepreneurship has begun to evolve for me in the past few weeks.
Walking down the street these days, I run into potential business owners, curious idea people that ask about downtown real estate. E-mails trickle in with inquiries about rent averages and condition of rental spaces.
They’re familiar with the Moving In segment, and they are wanting me to scope out different spaces on streets all over downtown. Not only has this enhanced my enthusiasm for this segment, but it has left me excited to see what kinds of people take the fulfilling plunge into entrepreneurship.

I met with Mark Lalovich of of RE/MAX Preferred Realty in February. Mark showed me a collection of properties then that I am still getting to posting today. Trying to cycle between different agents, as they show me new spaces, means leaving older footage until the future

We took a look at a ground floor vacancy at 85 Wyandotte Street West, steps away from the intersection of Wyandotte and Pelissier. It’s actually the property next door to 75 Wyandotte Street West that was featured in this segment recently. Everything about the property is on the video, including costs etc. Take a look.

Thanks Mark for taking the time to show me around the spaces of future downtown neighbours.

And here’s a property preview, with some idea of cost shown per square foot. Also, I believe that Mark said the landlords were willing to negotiate this price.

Moving In: 75 Wyandotte Street West

Monday, April 5th, 2010

I was able to meet with Mark Lalovich of of RE/MAX Preferred Realty in February. 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.

I wanted to post all of the video we took on the day we embarked to capture this footage, but in order to keep a regular feature, I’ve been slowly rolling them out. There are more Moving In segments to come from Mark in the near future.

We took a look at a ground floor vacancy at 75 Wyandotte Street West, steps away from the intersection of Wyandotte and Pelissier in what was Hair by Martina in past years. Everything about the property is on the video, including costs etc. Take a look.

Moving In: A New WO Feature

Friday, March 5th, 2010

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.
