Rare mixed-use opportunity at one of Somerville’s most recognizable corners, across from the Porter Square Shopping Center and T Stop. Formerly home to the beloved and iconic Big Fish Little Fish store, this highly visible location has been a destination for generations of local residents. The property consists of a 6,290 SF mixed-use building featuring two commercial storefronts, a three-unit multifamily residence (two 1-bedroom units and one 2-bedroom unit), a driveway and yard. The commercial spaces include back rooms and basement storage, with the potential to combine both storefronts into a single larger space. The property offers exceptional redevelopment and investment potential. Ideal for condominiums, multifamily housing, and mixed-use development. Being delivered vacant, this transit-oriented site (also sees lots of foot traffic) provides unmatched accessibility to Cambridge, Boston, and surrounding communities.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
