285 Liberty St NE Listing Brief

  • The property includes 14,014 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 14,014 square feet are Retail.

  • 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 Central Salem is 33. The average household income here is $57,497 per year.
