529 East Broadway Avenue occupies a full city block at the physical and symbolic center of Downtown Maryville, a position no other asset in the market can replicate. Constructed in 1948 and continuously operated for decades as Bradley's Body Shop, the property pairs the scale and masonry construction sought after in an adaptive reuse with a site plan built for heavy vehicle use. Four oversized bay doors, tall clear heights and expansive on-site parking surround the building with ample capacity for a high-traffic commercial or hospitality use. The site is nearly 1 acre.
The offering is structured for maximum optionality. A buyer may continue the asset as collision-repair, mechanical-service or reposition it as a restaurant, hospitality, event, or creative-retail destination; or pursue a mixed-use redevelopment of the block, subject to applicable approvals. Restore the building's original Streamline Moderne façade by reintroducing the original curved glass storefront of the late-1940s commercial architecture and this becomes one of Tennessee’s greatest attractions located 21 minutes from Blackberry Farms.

Boutique lodging or event venue built around the building's industrial character
Food & beverage

Flagship or market-hall concept leveraging large open spans

Location:
The block sits within immediate walking distance of Downtown Maryville's commercial core and the Bicentennial Greenbelt, surrounded by restaurants, retail, and Maryville College. Its scale, corner presence, and multiple frontages give it a level of visibility and identity that downtown infill sites rarely offer — the kind of address that anchors, rather than joins, a district.

Investment Highlights:
An irreplaceable position. A full city block at the center of Downtown Maryville, with the scale and visibility to function as a landmark under any future use.
Site scale that is difficult to assemble. Nearly a full acre with parking and multi-point vehicular access in a walkable downtown core, where lots of this size rarely trade.
Institutional-grade bones. Substantial 1948 masonry construction, tall ceilings, and heavy-duty infrastructure. The property offers 3-phase power with a 460-amp main electrical panel.
Built-in optionality. Suited to continued automotive or industrial use, or to adaptive reuse as restaurant, hospitality, event, or creative-retail space, subject to approvals.
Immediate proximity to demand drivers. Steps from the Bicentennial Greenbelt, Maryville College, and the retail and restaurant base of Downtown Maryville.
