KW Commercial is pleased to offer for lease SporTran City, Shreveport-Bossier City’s (SBC’s) first mixed-use food hall, office, and retail redevelopment.  Located on Texas Avenue in Downtown Shreveport, this exciting redevelopment is an adaptive re-use of a retail/showroom building that operated as Sun Furniture from 1966 until closing in 2018.  Spearheaded by SporTran, SBC’s local transit authority, SporTran City is being offered for lease in two phases.  The first phase is comprised of a small office suite containing six private offices, two retail/office suites and a food hall capable of accommodating three or more food concepts. Long-popular destinations in the Northeast, food halls have become centers of gastronomic adventure across many cities in the American South.  The shared dining floor provides an affordable location for new and/or established prepared food vendors.  This creates an atmosphere of creativity and the sharing of culinary ideas that make food halls a popular destination for a regional community.  As well as being a destination and focal point for the community, food halls are also known for promoting a shared kitchen atmosphere. This offers an affordable location for “pop-up” entrepreneurs and a dual-use commissary/sit down location for food truck operators.  Established food vendors are also afforded a test kitchen for new concepts without the high overhead. A local institution since the 1870s, “when mule drawn street cars ran from the downtown area to nearby outlying areas”, SporTran is taking a visionary approach to this mixed-use redevelopment, which will house a portion of their corporate offices on the second floor upon completion.  In addition, SporTran is constructing an electric car charging station across the street, which will be one of the most convenient and attractive charging stations along the I-20 corridor. Come be a part of this electrifying opportunity set to deliver in Spring of 2023.  SporTran City…the future of SBC.
