50 S Broad St
Middletown, OH 45044
Industrial Property For Sale

50 S Broad Street presents an opportunity to acquire a historic downtown commercial asset formerly occupied by the Middletown Journal newspaper. Originally constructed in 1922, the three-story building has a long operating history and offers significant repositioning potential for investors, developers, owner-users, or mixed-use redevelopment groups. Recent improvements, including new windows, support ongoing efforts to modernize the property while preserving its historic character.
The building is situated within Downtown Middletown's urban core, providing visibility along South Broad Street and access to the city's business district, government services, restaurants, entertainment venues, and community amenities. Middletown's location between Cincinnati and Dayton enhances regional accessibility, while ongoing downtown investment continues to attract redevelopment activity and new business interest throughout the area.
The first floor offers potential for retail, showroom, restaurant, office, or service-oriented commercial uses, creating an opportunity to activate the street frontage while pursuing additional uses on the upper floors. Existing building infrastructure, multiple levels, and large floor plates provide flexibility for adaptive reuse concepts including office, creative workspace, residential conversion, mixed-use development, educational uses, or specialty commercial occupancy.
For buyers seeking a value-add project, the property's scale, downtown location, and existing transition toward shell space create a foundation for redevelopment tailored to a variety of business and investment strategies. The combination of historic identity, recent window upgrades, and urban-core zoning positions the asset as a compelling adaptive reuse opportunity in the heart of Middletown.
