256 E. Cawson Street holds a full corner of downtown Hopewell — a single-story brick commercial building at E. Cawson and Hopewell Street, with two street frontages and a public alley at the rear. The building measures 91'-8? by 100': approximately 9,167 SF gross on the main floor, of which ±8,541 SF is usable and already reads as three natural bays of 2,545, 3,147 and 2,849 SF. A lower level adds ±1,833 SF of usable area at 10'-0? clear with its own exterior entrance, so a second use or a production and service function can run beneath the main tenant without crossing it. Total usable area is approximately 11,000 SF. Construction is load-bearing masonry with 18? x 18? interior columns, double steel lintel headers and a concrete deck — a frame that carries its load and leaves a designer room to open walls. The building last served as the City of Hopewell’s Department of Social Services. It is offered as-is; build-out is negotiated and priced separately. Architect as-built drawings of both levels, and a 2018 Glavé & Holmes Architecture rehabilitation study prepared for the Hopewell Downtown Partnership with two business-and-kitchen-incubator concepts, are available to a qualified prospect. Ardent Properties and its principal hold an ownership interest in this property. The principal is a real estate licensee in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
