Building description
119 W Wayne Street is a beautifully restored three-story brick office building right in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne. Originally built in 1891 and thoughtfully renovated in 2025, it combines historic character—like original wood floors and architectural details—with modern upgrades including LED lighting and central HVAC. The ceilings are a standout feature, reaching about 13’1” on the first floor, 12’1” on the second, and 9’10” on the third, giving each level an open, airy feel that’s great for creative office use.
The building offers a total of 10,620 square feet, with around 9,675 square feet of contiguous office space across all three floors. Floor plates are approximately 3,928 square feet on the first floor, 3,830 on the second, and 1,917 on the third, making it flexible for either a single user or multiple tenants. It also includes four restrooms, on-site signage, a rubber membrane roof, and energy-efficient systems—so it’s well-equipped for modern business needs without losing its historic charm.
Situated in the Downtown Core (DC) district, the property is about a 10-minute drive from interstate access and is surrounded by both garage and surface parking options. It’s right in the middle of some of Fort Wayne’s most popular spots, including JK O’Donnell’s, Proximo, Ruth’s Chris, Copper Spoon, Parkview Field, the Grand Wayne Convention Center, and more—putting tenants close to dining, entertainment, and major employers.
The property is available for lease at $17.00 per square foot, full service, with 3–5 year lease terms. It’s a great fit for businesses looking for distinctive, move-in-ready office space in a vibrant and growing downtown.
