505 W Franklin St 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.

    505 W Franklin St is located in Chapel Hill Town Center, which is home to a total of 3 listing(s). The rent for retail space at 505 W Franklin St is available upon request. Feel free to reach out using the contact form conveniently included on this page to find out more about what the property can offer for your business.

  • 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.

    For car-travelling customers, 505 W Franklin St has a parking ratio of 2.29 / 1,000 SF, offering 20 parking spaces. The size of the space, the quality of the build, special attributes, as well as overall upkeep and property rating can also influence the going rate. For instance, properties that were renovated or rehabilitated more recently bring greater value to tenants.

    Knowing your ideal customer is essential. For your consideration, the average age of residents in Chapel Hill Town Center is 30. The average household income here is $99,614 per year.
