“The Historic Core and Arts District are seeing multiple fashion tenants circling for creative office space due to their adjacency to industrial submarkets,” said Brittany Winn, Director.
“These tenants are electing to move their headquarters operations out of warehouse facilities and into something creative, taking employee wellness (i.e. amenities, outdoor workspace, walkability, refreshed and inviting new interiors) into consideration. Overall, employers are working to create an office environment that employees will want to return to.”
712 S Olive St is a low-rise office and a retail building located at the corner of Seventh and Olive. The building features high ceilings, large windows, and 18,000-SF floor plates, and sub-terranean basement parking.
