616 West Main Street offers a rare opportunity to lease ground-floor space in the heart of historic Downtown Merced, directly adjacent to the El Capitan Hotel—a JDV by Hyatt boutique lifestyle property and the city’s most active hospitality and dining destination. This two-story mixed-use building, originally built in 1941, pairs authentic downtown character with a complete modern renovation, including all-new HVAC, roof, and building envelope.

The building offers approximately 4,375 square feet across two levels—roughly 50% on the ground floor and 50% upstairs—suitable for retail, restaurant, professional office, or service uses under the property’s flexible Central Commercial (CC) zoning. The ground floor provides excellent storefront frontage and visibility along West Main Street and includes two restrooms, while the second level lends itself to office, studio, wellness, or private event space.

An adjacent ±4,875-square-foot lot is also available, offering additional flexibility for parking, outdoor seating, or expansion—terms are negotiable.
