Akers Center presents an excellent opportunity for small and large tenants looking for retail space in a well-maintained center on a highly trafficked street. Just south of I-85, the property benefits from high visibility, immediate access to amenities, and proximity to neighboring residential communities. Small shop and box spaces are available for immediate leasing. Gastonia, NC, located just west of Charlotte, is one of the area's best places to live and work with an ideal combination of location, size, and livability. It is the second-largest satellite city of the Charlotte MSA. This center, renovated in 2010, has more than doubled its occupancy since Woodcrest took over the center in 2018. Major tenants in the center include Roses, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, American Freight, Salvation Army, and local favorite, Jackson's Kitchen. Move-in ready in-line spaces, and one remaining larger big-box space in shell condition, are available for immediate leasing. The property offers easy ingress and egress and plenty of parking. The center has excellent visibility to over 20,000 average daily vehicles that travel on Franklin Blvd. In addition to the daytime commuter traffic, a population of over 108,000 people lives within a five-mile radius of the property, with the average household income exceeding $65,500.
Akers Center is owned by Woodcrest Capital, which welcomes first time and franchise businesses to its centers with easy-to-read leases and flexible terms. Woodcrest is also sufficiently sophisticated to please the largest of national credit tenants. As a family-owned business with over 40 years in commercial real estate, Woodcrest owns and operates everything from Class A centers in the busiest neighborhoods to troubled centers it’s rehabilitating in struggling rural communities.
