Elegant, free-standing restaurant opportunity positioned at the entrance to the vibrant Drayton Mills mixed-use development—one of Spartanburg's most successful adaptive reuse projects—offering restaurateurs a valuable second-generation space that significantly reduces the time to opening. The fully equipped, approximately ±6,979 SF building is complemented by a ±2,004 SF private patio, creating an ideal setting for full-service dining, a dynamic bar program, or an experiential culinary concept. The patio extends the space outdoors for seasonal events and private gatherings, while excellent visibility and abundant on-site parking ensure convenient access for guests. The existing build-out features a high-quality bar, a full commercial kitchen, and an open, flexible floor plan designed for seamless indoor and outdoor seating. Showcasing modern industrial character, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light, the space offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that can be adapted to a new concept with minimal additional investment. Retail tenants at Drayton Mills benefit from over 280 apartments at Drayton Mills Lofts steps away, 22K+ vehicles daily, and a live-work-play mix of residential, retail, dining, and fitness. Suite I also gains a built-in customer base next door, where Regus has leased the neighboring ±6,166 SF suite and is coming soon with roughly 75 desks. An integrated trail network and year-round programming keep foot traffic steady in one of Spartanburg's most active destinations.

Rent Types
The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.
1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.
2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.
3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.
4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses.
