The history

The Tapp’s building has been a staple of Columbia’s skyline since its construction in the 1940s.

Originally built as a department store, the seven-story building was renovated in 2003 into a Class-A mixed-use development featuring 42 loft-style apartments that sit above 23,496 sqft of retail/office/specialty space across two floors of flexible floor plans. It’s been an arts center, it’s been a cosmetology school, and now, it’s available for lease via Trinity Partners. What will it be next?

The details

  • Street level availability: 10,560 sqft
