Home Truths
While the space boasts an excellent location and impressive features, brands should be aware that footfall can vary depending on the time of day and week. Weekends and evenings tend to be busier, while weekday mornings might see slower traffic. However, the courtyard presents a unique opportunity to create attention-grabbing displays or host events that can draw people in, even during quieter periods. The white-boxed interior means the space is ready for immediate use, but also requires a creative touch to fully realize its potential. Brands that can effectively utilize both the interior space and the courtyard will find this unit particularly rewarding.
