15½, 17 & 19 Wall Street | Norwalk
Historic Downtown Waterfront Redevelopment Opportunity
Located in Norwalk’s historic Wall Street district, 15½, 17 & 19 Wall Street offers a rare chance to acquire two connected commercial buildings with substantial repositioning potential in one of Fairfield County’s most character-rich urban corridors.
Built in 1895, the property contains approximately 5,196 square feet across street-level and lower-level space and is being offered in shell condition, creating an opportunity for investors, developers, restaurateurs, or owner-users to completely customize the asset for a new vision.
The surrounding area has long been known for its historic architecture, local restaurants, nightlife, and waterfront setting. While the district continues to experience reinvestment and renewed interest from independent operators and developers, opportunities to acquire interconnected buildings of this scale in the downtown core remain extremely limited.
With flexible CDBC Waterfront zoning, the property is well suited for a wide range of potential uses including restaurant, hospitality, retail, entertainment, office, gallery, studio, or mixed-use redevelopment.
For buyers seeking a project with real upside, architectural character, and the ability to create a destination property rather than acquire a fully stabilized asset, 15½, 17 & 19 Wall Street represents a compelling value-add opportunity at an attractive basis.
