4240 Cass Avenue Listing Brief

  • A property’s location contributes to the asking rent almost as much as its characteristics do.

    4240 Cass Avenue is located in Lower Woodward, which is home to a total of 10 listing(s). Retail space at The Auburn asks $30.00/SF/YR per square foot.

  • The property includes 2,347 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 2,347 square feet are Retail.

    Knowing your ideal customer is essential. For your consideration, the average age of residents in Lower Woodward is 32. The average household income here is $34,188 per year.
