Residential Properties Description:

The Galkin Company Building, built in 1934, is a unique and historic property reimagined for today’s style of combined living and working. Originally a simple brick building used as a garage, this amazing creative live/work space is located in the heart of the Jewelry/Knowledge District.

This truly unique acquisition opportunity includes multiple studios, a finished lower level with a workshop, and a luxurious two-story residence with a functional art studio. Units 1 & 3 are filled with natural light all throughout the day, while modern design cues like frosted glass partitions allow for creating discrete and separate spaces.

Unit 2, designed in 1999 by world-renowned architect Friedrich St. Florian, features dramatic high ceilings and sleek lines, while also offering walkout access to a beautiful private outdoor garden and terrace, creating a private oasis in the heart of Creative Capital. Buyers can purchase the entire building as a whole, or elect to purchase Units 1&3 and Unit 2 separately.
