High-end residential lofts occupy the second and third floors above, putting a built-in customer base directly on top of the storefronts.

Diverse, Fully Leased Street-Level Tenant Mix

The roster spans destination retail, boutique shopping, salon and beauty services, and massage therapy — creating a well-balanced income stream with limited concentration risk. No single industry dominates the rent roll, and the service tenants bring the kind of sticky, appointment-based clientele and recurring revenue that keep occupancy resilient through market cycles.
