A 3,600-square-foot building situated on a 0.11-acre parcel at 1745 1st Avenue S., in the Grand Central District of downtown St. Petersburg, has listed for sale with an asking price of $1.95 million.
The property was formerly home to Avid Brewing Company which closed its doors on New Year’s Eve, 2022.
The front portion of the building, with 2,400 square feet, was built in 1949. It provides an adaptable and open layout. Connected is a 1,200-square-foot modern addition with 16-foot ceilings.
The property is equipped with a built-in bar with a three-compartment sink, a walk-in cooler, and a roll-up door that leads to an outdoor area that can accommodate seating, special events or parking for a food truck. Four designated parking spots are available on-site.
Additional features include enclosed outdoor storage and an office space on a mezzanine level which overlooks the rear of the building.
Potential uses, besides a brewery, include a café, wine bar, art studio, fitness space, event venue or other retail establishment.
The seller, Jeff Keller, purchased the property under the registered name Proscenium, LLC in 2005 for $250,000. In 2019 the registered name was changed to JRZ Properties, LLC. Both limited liability companies have since been dissolved.
