HISTORY
Late-19th-century brick complex forming part of Riga’s historic brewing and beverage-production belt, with distinctive façades and generous volumes suited to production, loft-style office, or creative conversion concepts. Originally developed as K. K. von Stricka’s brewery, the complex showcases late-19th-century industrial architecture: rhythmical brickwork, tall window bays, and robust load-bearing structures designed for brewing, storage and bottling.

TODAY
Behind the street façade, the property unfolds into interconnected production halls, cellars, and courtyards—today home to Amber Latvijas balzams’ sparkling wine, cider and light alcoholic beverage plant. Industrial volumes, service cores and logistics access remain in active use, offering investors a proven operational layout with significant inherent flexibility. Ancillary buildings and spaces accommodate offices, technical functions, canteen and retail/service points, including a Latvijas balzams factory shop and café.

SURROUNDINGS
The immediate surroundings have evolved into one of Riga’s most dynamic inner-city creative belts: neighbouring addresses host design studios, music venues, cafés and cultural institutions, while the nearby Tallinas ielas kvartāls has become a recognised epicentre for contemporary art and events. This combination of industrial heritage and creative energy underpins both the current utility of the site and its long-term repositioning potential.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The property is located within a specially designated industrial-heritage and park ensemble of the Riga Historic Centre, where the planning framework supports both the preservation of historic architectural value and the gradual evolution of the block into a contemporary mixed-use destination. The property benefits from a combination of heritage protection and controlled development rights that allow for meaningful transformation. Regulations permit new buildings along selected sections of the Aristida Briāna, Šarlotes and Palīdzības street frontages of the plot. These infill volumes must respect the existing height profile and architectural rhythm of the surrounding historic buildings, offering investors the opportunity to complete the urban street wall with high-value commercial, office, or hospitality functions.

The existing late-19th-century brick factory structures may undergo full internal refurbishment, enabling modern layouts, building-services upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, and conversion into: Loft-style offices or creative workspaces, Studios, workshops, or cultural venues, Hospitality or event concepts, Contemporary production, R&D, or hybrid spaces.
