114 Commerce Street – A Cornerstone Property in Hawkinsville’s Revival

Occupying a prime 28-foot frontage along Commerce Street, 114 Commerce Street represents a significant redevelopment opportunity in downtown Hawkinsville. This 2,548 sq ft commercial building, constructed in 1912 with 14-foot ceilings, offers exceptional potential for adaptive reuse while maintaining its historic integrity. Currently exempt and owned by The Newberry Institute, the property’s deep 210-foot lot and central location make it ideal for mixed-use concepts that could anchor Hawkinsville’s revitalization – envision a ground-floor café or boutique retail with creative office space or residential lofts above.

The property’s historic architecture and recent $149,000 market transaction demonstrate both its preserved character and growing value in Hawkinsville’s emerging downtown scene. As surrounding properties undergo renewal, 114 Commerce Street stands ready to become a catalyst project – whether as a hospitality concept, coworking hub, or community-focused commercial space. Its location in the heart of the Commerce Street corridor positions it to benefit from increased foot traffic and investment in Hawkinsville’s urban core.
