The Wrong Space Is the Most Expensive Mistake You'll Make

The Cost of Downtime

Empty days compound into months of lost revenue.

Every week a space sits dark is cash flow you'll never recover. Most operators spend 4–6 months in negotiations before a single box is delivered. We've built our entire model around compressing that timeline without sacrificing fit.

✓Average industry vacancy gap: 5.2 months
✓Prime Frontage median: 38 days from signed LOI to keys
✓Pre-negotiated landlord relationships in every market

The Wrong-Fit Trap

High traffic doesn't mean your traffic.

A storefront on a busy block means nothing if the foot traffic doesn't match your customer profile. We run demographic and spend-pattern overlays on every listing so your location decision is anchored in data, not instinct.

✓Pedestrian count and dwell-time analytics
✓Competitor proximity mapping
✓Daytime vs. evening foot traffic segmentation

Broken Broker Models

Traditional brokers optimize for commission, not fit.

Legacy commercial brokerage is structured to close deals quickly and move on. Prime Frontage operates as a long-term partner — our fees are tied to lease-up performance and tenant renewal, which means we're only rewarded when you thrive.

✓Performance-linked advisory fees
✓Dedicated market specialist assigned to every tenant
✓Post-opening support through Year 1

Every Format. Every Footprint.

Flagship Retail

Corner units and avenue-facing storefronts with 2,000–12,000 sq ft of ground-floor presence. Built for brands that want to make a statement.

Warm restaurant interior with open kitchen and ambient lighting

Restaurant Row

Dining-ready spaces with exhaust infrastructure, gas lines, and high-capacity HVAC — so you spend budget on experience, not buildout.

End-cap retail unit with wraparound windows

End-Cap Units

Three-sided visibility with maximum signage rights — the power position in every retail cluster.

Mixed-use building exterior with retail at street level

Mixed-Use Developments

Street-level retail beneath residential or office towers. Built-in captive audiences from day one.

Pop-up retail activation in a high-traffic urban corridor

Pop-Up & Interim Leases

Short-term activations from 30 days to 12 months — test a market before committing, or fill a strategic gap while your flagship site is built out.

From Discovery to Keys: The Prime Frontage Process

Four deliberate steps — built to eliminate the friction that kills most commercial leasing timelines.

Discovery & Brief
A 45-minute intake call with your dedicated market specialist to establish your format, budget, timeline, and non-negotiables. We build a space brief, not a wish list.
Curated Market Shortlist
Within 5 business days we deliver a curated shortlist of 3–6 properties matched against your brief, complete with demographic overlays, traffic counts, and competitive maps.
Site Tours & Negotiation
We coordinate tours, handle landlord relationships, and lead all LOI and lease negotiations. Your legal counsel reviews; we handle the commercial terms.
Lease-Up & Opening Support
From signed lease to ribbon-cut, we coordinate with your contractor, local permitting, and landlord for punch-list delivery. Then we stay connected through Year 1.

14 Markets. One Standard of Placement.

From the downtown cores of Chicago, Austin, and Portland to the emerging neighborhood corridors of Nashville, Denver, and Salt Lake City — Prime Frontage operates where street-level commerce is being won and lost right now. We don't list markets we don't work in. Every city in our portfolio has a dedicated market specialist with active landlord relationships, live inventory, and local intelligence that no national database can replicate. New markets are added when we can guarantee the same depth of service. Not before.

Frequently Asked Questions

We focus exclusively on street-level commercial spaces for retail and food & beverage operators. That includes flagship storefronts, restaurant-ready spaces with existing kitchen infrastructure, end-cap units with multi-sided visibility, ground-floor retail in mixed-use developments, and short-term pop-up activations.

After your initial discovery call, we deliver a curated shortlist within 5 business days. For operators with flexible briefs in markets with active inventory, we can often turn that around in 48 hours.

We earn a placement fee from the landlord at lease signing, structured as a percentage of total lease value — consistent with standard commercial brokerage. We do not charge operators upfront fees. Our renewal-linked performance structure means we stay engaged with your success well beyond move-in.

Yes. Our market specialists lead all commercial negotiations including rent, tenant improvement allowances, rent-free periods, renewal options, and co-tenancy protections. We work alongside your legal counsel on final lease review.

We currently operate in 14 markets including Chicago, Austin, Portland, Nashville, Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Miami, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington D.C. New markets are added selectively to maintain our service quality standard.

Absolutely. We maintain an active inventory of spaces available on 30-day to 12-month interim terms. These are ideal for market testing, seasonal activations, or bridging the gap while a permanent flagship site is delivered.

We don't disappear at signing. Our team coordinates with your contractor and the landlord through the build-out period, assists with local permitting introductions, and conducts a 90-day and 12-month check-in to ensure the placement is performing as expected.
