If your retail property has been sitting empty for 90+ days, you’re not alone—but you’re not without solutions either.
Let’s dive into the top 3 reasons retail spaces go unleased in South Fulton, and what you can do right now to change that.
🟤 1. Visual First Impressions Are Failing
Tenants shop with their eyes.
If your property has:
- Old carpet, dim lighting, or unclear layout
- Faded signage
- An exterior that doesn’t “pop”
…they’ll move on. Even if it’s affordable.
Solution: Invest in light cosmetic updates like fresh paint, lighting, clear windows, and modern signage.
🔍 2. Your Listing Isn’t Being Seen
If your space is only listed on the MLS, you’re missing tenant eyeballs.
Are you on LoopNet? CREXi? Facebook? Local business groups?
Also, bad listing photos and vague descriptions can kill interest fast.
Solution: Professional photos, floor plans, and benefit-driven copy.
📃 3. Your Lease Terms Are Too Inflexible
Startups and small businesses want short-term, flexible, or tiered leases. If you’re locked into rigid 5-year minimums, you’re turning away great tenants.
Solution: Try 12–24 month options with renewal perks or small TI allowances.
