Vermont Business Magazine The DeWitt Block, a long-empty piece of Flat Street’s history in downtown Brattleboro, is being given a new life. Standing next to the Brattleboro Transportation Center, the former Sanel Auto Parts store was constructed over 100 years ago as a grocery warehouse and, though it has received interest from investors over the years, a good match for its potential hadn’t materialized until now.
“This building has been vacant for a long time,” says Skye Morse, a partner and investment director at M&S Development. “A lot of people have wanted to do something with it, but it’s needed a commercially-viable vision for what it will become and the funding to make it a reality.” That vision is coming to life now with 19 mixed-income housing units and a ground floor coworking space that will look out onto Flat Street and across the Whetstone Brook to the Brattleboro Food Co-op.
