The Barnes Citizens Building is owned by BCK Barnes, LLC (a Missouri Limited Liability Corporation) and was purchased from National City Bank of Cleveland on March 15, 1999. The Barnes Citizens Building has retained the services of National City Bank Corporate Real Estate to manage the property, provide an on-site property manager and on-site support staff.

Largely empty at the time of purchase, BCK Barnes, LLC has secured two long-term anchor leases for the property. Both leases ( one 10 year and one 12 year) commenced in 1999 and, combined, brings occupancy levels to approximately 15% of total square footage.

New ownership of the property brings with it new leasing opportunities for prospective tenants. Consider the following:

  • The Barnes Citizens Building is the only building in Decatur, Illinois to offer an attached, multi-level parking facility. Three covered levels of parking helps to protect tenants and their customers from the elements when inclement weather arrives.

  • The Barnes Citizens Building, at 12 stories in height, is the only commercial property building in Decatur, Illinois that can offer tenants and their customers the most commanding views of the community and surrounding area.
  • The Barnes Citizens Building, with 166,000 square feet of space, can provide tenants with the possibility of expanding their office space without the need to relocate to a new building with a new address.

  • The Barnes Citizens Building is a landmark building. Not only is the structure a physically impressive one, it is a part of Decatur, Illinois' vocabulary and fabric of life. When you tell someone to meet you at your offices in the Citizens building, they will know exactly where to go and how to get there.
