Marketing description
Presented exclusively for sale by Poe & Cronk Real Estate Group, the First Federal Building presents a rare opportunity to acquire a 48,638-square-foot downtown landmark ideally suited for adaptive reuse into apartments, condominiums, boutique hospitality, or mixed-use development. Positioned in the center of Roanoke's rapidly evolving downtown, the property combines scale, visibility, Opportunity Zone benefits, and proximity to the region's growing residential and entertainment districts.

Multiple surface lots and structured parking options are located within the surrounding area, providing convenient access for employees, tenants, residents, and visitors.
