6831 Manchester Avenue presents a versatile owner/user or investor opportunity in the St. Louis City South submarket, just minutes from Maplewood’s vibrant commercial corridor. This 4,000 SF, two-story brick building was constructed in 1908 and is currently fully vacant, offering a buyer the flexibility to occupy one or both floors or lease the entire building.
The building features two distinct 2,000 SF floor plates across two levels. The upper level offers a functional, multi-room office layout with private offices, a conference/meeting room, and common areas well-suited for a professional services firm, nonprofit, or similar user. The lower level was previously improved for daycare/childcare use and features an open layout, stairway access, and rear outdoor area – adaptable for a range of commercial tenants.
Both levels are available for lease: upper level at $12 PSF modified gross (plus utilities) and lower level at $18 PSF NNN, offering a buyer immediate leasing upside or the option to occupy and generate rental income from the remaining unit.
The property has seen meaningful recent capital investment including new HVAC, updated front doors, Helitech waterproofing, and an aluminum roofing treatment – reducing near-term capital expenditure concerns for a buyer.
The building sits on a 6,098 SF parcel (0.14 AC) zoned J, with frontage on Manchester Avenue – one of St. Louis City’s primary commercial arterials carrying 21,734 vehicles per day. The property is within a 5-6 minute drive of two MetroLink commuter rail stations (Maplewood-Manchester and Sunnen), with convenient access to I-44 and US-100.
Demographics within one mile reflect an established, stable neighborhood: average household income of $95,665, 8,547 households, and a total population of 15,770. Offered at $400,000 ($100/SF).
