129 S. Gay Street Suite 101 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.

    129 S. Gay Street Suite 101 is located in Downtown Knoxville, which is home to a total of 1 listing(s). Retail space at 129 S. Gay Street asks $30.00/SF/YR per square foot.

  • The property includes 1,550 square feet of retail space for lease. Of this total, 1,550 square feet are Street 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 Downtown Knoxville is 35. The average household income here is $56,397 per year.
