Great Investment Opportunity!! Old Americus Hospital: Through a deal with the Sumter Historic Trust, I currently own and maintain this building. It is for sale, and it would be a terrific location for upscale condominiums or apartments -- something needed in Americus. It's located in a residential neighborhood. I know it's eligible for historic building tax credits and I think it's in the enterprise zone for additional tax credits. Several years ago, an architect owned it and priced out 11 to 13 condos in the building for $1 million investment. Building is in poor condition but foundation on both floors is solid and dry except for a small porch added on to the building. Roof has no leaks, and it's a massive Prairie-style building, c. 1913, offers over 13,000 square feet of space on a huge (1.7 acre) tree-shaded lot in the middle of a pleasant residential neighborhood, close to the University. Architectural details include stylized Art Deco brickwork, interior columns, pressed metal ceilings, extra-wide doors, and a skylight in the original operating theater on the second floor. Building is in need of complete renovation, but has terrific potential for conversion into upscale apartments or condominiums. Zoned R-3. Historic District.
