1119 White Street, Key West - Impressive Commercial Building For Sale


Buyers looking for an impressive commercial building in a highly visible location need to look no further. The former Island Gym building located at 1119 White Street is available at the asking price of $1,100,000.  The building is architecturally impressive and may be adaptable to a variety of commercial and/or professional office type situations.. The building is located two blocks from the new Key West City Hall, two blocks from prominent Monroe County Administrative offices,  and near other  retail, food service, and tourist related businesses on the White Street corridor.
 The Listing Realtor describes the property this way:
"This ideally located parcel in the White St. Corridor consists of a double lot in the heart of Key West's Old Town totals 8,150 SF on the Corner of White and Catherine St. The building is a beautifully maintained 1,895 SF concrete 1938 art deco structure, with rights to expand to the curb and/or add a second level."

I dug into my old shoebox and found a photo of 1119 White Street taken in 1965 that shows the gas station property that previously existed.  I recall a larger gas station at the site when I moved to the area in 1995.  I vaguely recall that building as having been renovated as opposed to a new building been built from ground up.  The Property Appraiser website shows building permits for numerous improvements before it became the Island Gym. It was then update again to add the locker rooms and attendant facilities. 

My shoebox also contained the 9160 black and white photo (below) looking across White Street at a mixed-use property.. That photo looks so ancient now. It reflects a much sleepier time in Key West. I took a the lower color which shows the same building as it now appears. A real estate office is located on the opposite corner. The National Weather Service is located two blocks south. Almost every building on this section of White Street has been renovated or replaced to keep up with the new Key West economy.
The original Key West High School is also located two blocks south of 1119 White Street. The old high school was disassembled and rebuilt over the past two years and is not the Key West town hall. The National Weather Service is located opposite city hall. The great Atlantic Ocean is five blocks to the south. Duval Street is a five or so walk to the west. Key West is an island and 1191 White Street is centrally located to all that Key West offers. 
White Street is one of four streets that run from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. It is two blocks south of Truman Avenue which runs that length of the island as US1. The ease of access to this location is obvious. I was saddened to see the Island Gym close. But its closing opens the opportunity for some new business to set up shop so to speak in a dynamic location.
 which is city and county government as well as tourist and retail businesses. I think 1119 White Street could easily be converted into medical offices. There is abundant on site parking plus on street parking.
