Unique Downtown Urbana Mixed Use - Redevelopment Opportunity. Pleased to offer this well-located property on Race Street, currently home to Analog Wine Bar.

The ground level includes a coffee/wine bar, lounge, kitchen/prep area, event space, offices, restrooms, and access to a rear deck for outdoor use.
