Visions for Vacancies: Lafayette Building

Street-level space, which once included some shops and eateries, remains vacant.

The Lafayette Building on Chesapeake Avenue is the subject of this week's Visions for Vacancies.

The building was included in the 2010 . Though office space in the building thrives, street-level retail space has languished. In place of storefronts for shops like Kinko's and A Taste of Philly, are now windows decorated with murals by local students.

No long-term tenants have yet been announced for this space or for Towson Commons. But use your imagination—what would you put in this retail space?

Is it possible that this location has great potential for another eatery? - maybe for a specialty unseen? Someone will argue that the very last thing Towson needs is another bar or restaurant (I wouldn't say that, but without hesitation someone will). West Chesapeake has substantial sidewalk space out front, with a lot of natural shade and ample parking a few steps away... but then again, I'm no expert.
I'd like to see a business that incorporates the sidewalk space and improves the streetscape.

How large is the space - sf?

Four retail spots on the first floor ranging from 713 to 1305 square feet.
