From great architecture to an ideal location to beneficial tax advantages, the Markle Building is center city Hazleton’s premier location for business.

The Markle Building is the first renovation project in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that is an actual KOEZ property. As a tenant, your company will enjoy exemption from most state, county, school district and local taxes through December 31, 2013. See the KOZ page for more details on these important tax savings.

The Markle Building, at 2-12 West Broad Street, is situated in the heart of downtown Hazleton. The city is currently experiencing a revival and is a recent recipient of a federal grant to rebuild its downtown.

The structure stands 12 stories high (approximately 100,000 sq. ft.) and, at 175 ft, is the tallest building in the city. Facing north, the structure is three bays wide and seven bays deep, and includes a later six-story addition on the east side. This addition extends the full length of the lot but drops to two stories at the rear.

The original building and its addition fill the lot and is bordered at the rear (south) by West Mine Street. Empty stores adjacent to the building have been razed, with the resultant space intended for use as a temporary parking lot for the Markle Building. A 400-car parking garage is also available to the rear.

Right now, 90% of the street level office/store space on Broad Street is already occupied..
