316 Hardy St Hattiesburg, MS 39401

This exceptional 3,801 square foot freestanding retail building, situated on a 0.15-acre lot in Forrest County, presents a unique investment opportunity. Built in 1937, the single-story structure is currently vacant, offering a blank canvas for a new tenant or owner-occupier. The property's single-tenant occupancy history simplifies management and leasing efforts. While the building is in need of some improvements, a proposed new roof is planned, and tenant improvement allowances are negotiable, potentially including rent abatement. This flexibility allows for customization to suit a variety of retail concepts. The property's location on Hardy Street offers excellent visibility and accessibility. The sale is contingent upon the closing of an existing purchase agreement by December 31, 2024, and the planned vacation of the current lessee. This presents a chance to acquire a well-positioned retail space at a potentially advantageous price point, allowing for significant value-add potential through renovations and lease-up. The property's size and location make it ideal for a variety of retail uses, from small businesses to larger operations seeking a high-visibility location. Serious inquiries are encouraged to explore this promising investment opportunity. The total building square footage is 3,801 square feet, with the entire space currently vacant.
