1720 Central Listing Brief

  • A property’s location contributes to the asking rent almost as much as its characteristics do. For instance, central urban locations with high walkability or suburban locations with ample parking and easy access by car will claim higher rents but offer superior access to your customer base. 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 Prime Evanston Retail / Office Space at Central Station asks $40.00/SF/YR per square foot.

  • The property includes 4,199 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 4,199 square feet are General Office.

    Lease agreement conditions for the availability at this property include Modified Gross.

    In addition to retail space, the property also includes 1 office space(s). Mixed-use buildings combining office space alongside retail present additional opportunities for steady foot traffic and a potentially loyal customer base.

    For more information or to schedule a tour of the property, use the convenient contact form on this page to get in touch with a representative.

  • 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.
