Oak Harbor Retail for Lease
Headline:
Rare Corner Retail/Office Space in Historic Downtown Oak Harbor — Opportunity Zone, Foot Traffic, Near Waterfront, Off-Street Parking
Listing Description:
Rare opportunity to lease a large, recently renovated corner unit in the heart of downtown Oak Harbor, steps from the Whidbey Island waterfront. This high-visibility retail space sits in a well-maintained 1905 landmark building and offers wraparound windows, soaring archways, and true small-town charm rarely found in modern construction. Photos here show the space in its scale, taken 4 years ago prior to current tenant's extensive retail merchandizing. Since then, new wood grain vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, LED lighting, and new heat pump system (2025) have been added.
Located in Oak Harbor's Opportunity Zone, tenants and investors may qualify for federal capital gains tax advantages. The space is directly adjacent to the Allgire Project, Washington's largest outdoor mural gallery, which draws steady foot traffic and tourism to the block year-round.
