closeThe building that formerly housed the Academy of Dance in downtown San Luis Obispo is for sale, with an asking price of $2.95 million.
Vacant for six months, the building owner opted to sell after few potential tenants showed interest in the more than 4,000-square-foot space at 672 Higuera St.
Academy of Dance owner Lori Silvaggio operated her dance classes serving 800 students out of the multistory building for 22 years before moving to a larger space off Broad Street on the city’s outskirts. Her new location has triple the amount of space and has undergone a $2 million remodel to become a “world-class facility,” Silvaggio said.
The building has an option for residential space on the top floor.

- Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
- Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
