The greying former site of the Wabash Feed & Garden Store is fully back on the market again, after high hopes for a new Creek Group restaurant on the site slowly faded into lengthy delays and an eventual leasing sign out front last year. Nancy Sarnoff notes in the Chronicle that the property went back up for sale last month, looking somewhat more worn down than the first time. A glance at CBRE’s marketing materials for the site shows many of the recent newcomers to the garden store’s stretch of Washington Ave., including the new storage midrise across the street, and the Pearl and Elan apartment complexes each about 2 blocks away in opposite directions from the just-over-half-an-acre property:

Washed Out on Wash Ave
Only $125/sf for the land. What a steal
Could use another storage facility or mattress store in that area.
What a shame, that place was fun to visit and shop at.
That place is still opened, just in a new location. Haven’t been to the new place yet, on Shepherd and 48th (?), but can’t imagine the feel changed too much.
Saw activity at the old Wabash location, new paint and other renos. Any idea what’s going in there?
