Signature Owner-User Opportunity in Downtown Olympia
Iconic Downtown Olympia Landmark – 8,400 SF Restaurant + Banquet/VIP Room on Prime Corner
Marketing description
Own a Landmark in the Heart of Downtown Olympia
A rare opportunity to acquire one of Olympia’s most recognizable and architecturally significant buildings, commanding a highly visible .17-acre corner directly across from City Hall. This 8,400-square-foot Gothic Revival treasure, wrapped in warm terra-cotta tile, was designed by legendary architect Joseph Wohleb and constructed by the historic Titus family—a true piece of Olympia’s legacy.
For more than a century, this building has anchored downtown commerce, housing everything from early auto showrooms to retail and, most recently, a high-volume restaurant and bar. Its striking façade, soaring vertical lines, and dramatic presence make it a natural magnet for both locals and visitors.
Zoned Retail – Food Downtown Business, the property is exceptionally versatile and delivered vacant and turnkey for hospitality or adaptive reuse. The layout includes 6,136 SF of restaurant and bar space, highlighted by an 812 SF private banquet / VIP room ideal for corporate events, political gatherings, retirement parties, and private dining, along with 1,200 SF of office and 1,064 SF of warehouse/storage. The building is fully supported by two walk-in coolers, commercial vent hoods, a Wood Stone wood-fired pizza oven, HVAC, fire suppression, and security systems, significantly reducing startup costs for a new operator.
This is a flagship corner location in the civic core of Olympia, surrounded by government offices, new housing, retail, and constant foot traffic—making it ideal for an owner-operator, restaurant group, or investor seeking a true trophy asset with built-in character, event-driven revenue potential, and long-term upside.
Historic charm. Prime positioning. Endless potential.
