**Rare SoNo Flagship Asset — Mixed-Use Investment, Entertainment, Office & Redevelopment Opportunity at 5–17 Washington Street, Norwalk, CT**
5–17 Washington Street presents a truly rare opportunity to control a substantial mixed-use property in the heart of historic South Norwalk — one of Fairfield County’s most active restaurant, nightlife, retail, residential, and transit-oriented districts.
This is the kind of asset serious investors, developers, owner-users, hospitality groups, medical users, and entertainment operators cannot afford to overlook.
The property includes a prominent multi-story office building with three expansive floors of over 7,000 square feet each, offering tremendous flexibility for office, medical, creative, educational, residential conversion exploration, or full strategic repositioning. Above it all is a newly built, unfinished rooftop loft space featuring abundant natural light and nearly panoramic views — an extraordinary blank canvas with the potential to become one of the most distinctive spaces in South Norwalk.
Even more compelling, the rooftop itself offers amazing panoramic views of the city and Long Island Sound, creating rare potential for an elevated private amenity, event concept, hospitality feature, executive space, rooftop lounge, or signature destination component, subject to approvals.
In addition to the office/loft component, the property includes an approximately 8,500 square foot vacant club and entertainment venue. This space is available for lease or can be acquired as part of the overall property purchase; it is not being offered for sale separately. Large-scale entertainment space of this kind is exceptionally difficult to find, particularly in a walkable downtown location with existing nightlife, restaurant traffic, transit access, and strong surrounding activity.
The strip retail section adds further value, with existing neighborhood and service-oriented tenants including C-Town Market, a dental office ready for another dental user to move in, a nail salon, and an additional nightclub/bar. This combination of in-place tenancy, vacant upside, large floor plates, entertainment infrastructure, rooftop potential, and location creates multiple paths to value.
A buyer can lease the vacant office floors, reposition the building, pursue medical/professional use, explore residential or mixed-use redevelopment, lease or activate the club/entertainment venue, occupy part of the property, or create a truly unique destination asset in the center of SoNo.
Located on Washington Street, the property sits at the core of South Norwalk’s energy — near restaurants, nightlife, residential developments, The Maritime Aquarium, the South Norwalk Train Station, waterfront destinations, and continued investment throughout the district.
This is not simply a building for sale. This is a chance to control a major presence in one of Connecticut’s most recognizable downtown markets.
