1220 Grand Ave Listing Brief

Likewise, the quality of the building systems and property finishes have a significant impact on how businesses can conduct their activity there, as well as on the experience of their customers.

    Retail space at 1220 Grand Ave asks $18.00/SF/YR per square foot.

  • The property includes 1,250 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 1,250 square feet are Street Retail.

    Lease agreement conditions for the availability at this property include NNN.

  • You should keep in mind that different areas gradually build a reputation as hotspots or desirable corridors for shopping, eating, or other entertainment and consumer activities. So, while renting retail space in an area with a well-established high-end reputation might mean more customers that are more willing to spend, it will also place you in a more competitive environment.

    Knowing your ideal customer is essential. For your consideration, the average age of residents in Valley Junction is 36. The average household income here is $86,470 per year.
