Forty years ago, the hottest spot for retail space for lease, in any major city, was the downtown central business district.
That is not necessarily the gospel today. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that in most major cities, the downtown core is probably not a good choice for your retail space for rent. You are probably much better off looking elsewhere, and that is what we will discuss in this article.
We are the Fort Worth Design District, located in the Alliance Area, the fastest growing commercial and industrial area in all of Tarrant County. Call us at 817-439-3224 for more information about a retail space for lease to match your needs in the Greater Fort Worth area.
What’s wrong with downtown
In some cases, in some cities, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the downtown corridor. In most small towns and cities, the downtown corridor still reigns supreme. It is the hub of all economic activity, just as it once was in major cities back in the 60’s.
But today is not the 60’s, and in most major cities the downtown area is too hard to get to, too hard to find parking, to congested, too crime-infested, and totally unappealing for many retail businesses. In most major cities, the downtown area has turned into a financial and services corridor, and sprinkled in there as well is entertainment. Retail businesses have found that other areas are better for their survival.
