Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the French Quarter's most architecturally distinctive buildings. Located at 534-536 Bienville Street, this four-story landmark was designed by architect Jordan McKenzie and constructed circa 1910 as a celebrated example of early 20th-century Austrian Secessionist design. The building is further distinguished by its "French Quarter Elves," three original concrete gnome figures that have graced the facade beneath the second-floor windows for over a century. Zoned VCC-2 for commercial or residential use. Unit #1 spans the entire 1st floor, offering 1,368 square feet of stunning, character-rich space. Currently operating as owner's business, Spa Atlantis, the unit is configured for commercial use and retains the ability to revert to residential, offering flexibility for the next owner. The business is not included in the sale.
Grand entry foyer with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling grid windows floods the space with natural light while showcasing the building's industrial bones. The space features polished concrete floors, exposed original brick walls, pendant lighting, and a loft-like open layout currently configured as a reception and salon area -- complete with a kitchenette/service station and direct access to a private rear courtyard through oversized windows. Property also offers elevator access. Whether you're looking for a great retail space, art gallery, wellness studio, office, or a unique residence, this space offers the location and character to bring any vision to life.
Unit #2 (second floor, 1,616 SF) is also available at $595,000, or both units may be purchased together for $1,140,000. See other listings for more details.
