Property Description

A rare adaptive-reuse opportunity in Brunswicks historic urban core. Originally constructed as the Roxy Theatre, 1603 Albany Street offers ±9,091 SF of distinctive commercial space combining historic character with substantial building infrastructure. Constructed of concrete block with brick veneer, the building features ceiling heights ranging from approximately 10 feet to more than 20 feet and is currently occupied as a gymnastics facility. At the heart of the property is a ±5,602 SF open-volume former auditorium with high ceilings, full climate control, an existing stage and original elevated projection area. The building is served by 600-amp electrical service with four distribution panels, LED lighting throughout, and rheostat-controlled lighting in the main space. Fire-safety improvements include a commercial sprinkler system, fire-alarm system and expanded alarm panel. Additional improvements include replacement windows with bronze anodized aluminum frames and tinted glazing, as well as multiple commercial access points. A large rear roll-up door opens to a raised loading platform, while an additional grade-level roll-up door provides convenient front access. Upper-level spaces, including loft/flex areas and a full bath, offer additional room for office, administrative, studio or support functions. The buildings scale and configuration lend themselves to a variety of adaptive-reuse concepts, including indoor athletics and training, performing arts, educational or youth programming, nonprofit or community facilities, event and assembly uses, creative operations and specialty commercial concepts, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. The offering includes the primary building parcel plus the parcel immediately behind the property, providing additional site area for loading and service access.
