TILLIE LEWIS BUSINESS PARK

Tillie Lewis is an under-utilized industrial property occupying two full city blocks at the southern entrance to the fast-growing city of Modesto. 

 

Tillie Lewis herself was somewhat of a character / entrepreneur / local legend. She met an Italian tomato grower and was so impressed by his produce that she studied how to grow and can his pomodoro tomatoes in California.  In the 1950’s, she built this class A complex as a canning plant, topping the project with a distinctive, 100 foot steel water tower.

 

The park consists of 183,000 square feet of warehouses in seven buildings with five acres of parking. Dominated by its historical tower, the project is visible for miles.

THE BLACK BUILDING

The Black Building is a two story office/retail building in a great location at the heart of Modesto’s downtown business district.  This area is undergoing extensive rejuvenation with new upscale commercial/retail and cultural buildings under construction all around the property.

 

Over half the building is vacant which provides Klein Investments with the opportunity to renovate this under-utilized “Ugly Duckling”.  Our goal is to return the Black Building to its former Victorian splendor.
