About this home

A rare investment and multi-unit housing redevelopment opportunity in the heart of downtown Dubuque. Situated on 0.21 acres, this historic brick masonry building—originally constructed in 1876—offers enduring character, architectural charm, and untapped potential. Currently vacant and ready for transformation, the structure can be reimagined. Rear parking provides valuable on-site convenience, and the property’s prime location places it within walking distance of Dubuque’s thriving Main Street district, restaurants, retail, entertainment venues, and more. With exceptional walkability, historic appeal, and flexible redevelopment options, this is an outstanding opportunity for developers seeking to make a lasting impact in one of Iowa’s most architecturally rich and forward-thinking downtowns. Site has a permanent utility, ingress / egress & maintenance easement agreement with the Boy's and Girls’ Club. Property is being sold as-is. Addendum in documents section to be signed with all offers. Each address has their own meters for city utilities and electric. There are three panels in total (one at 1255 and two at 1257).

Office Residential District

The OR district is intended to serve as a transition zone between commercial and single- and two-family residential areas permitting adaptive reuse of existing building stock, which will normally be residential in character. This OR district is not intended to have any application in undeveloped or newly developing areas of the city or on land made vacant through intentional demolition. Development standards remain flexible to allow conservation and reuse of existing buildings. This district should be located in areas abutting arterial and/or collector streets which are because of location and trends, suitable for development of low intensity office uses and high intensity residential uses.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Religious facility
Automotive parking structure
Garden center
Day care facility
Housing-Multiple units
