118 Front Street 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 University Market asks $40.00/SF/YR per square foot.

  • The property includes 980 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 980 square feet are Street Retail.

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

    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, 118 Front Street has a parking ratio of 4.00 / 1,000 SF, offering 64 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.

    118 Front Street was last renovated in 2018.
