Move-In Ready Office & Co-Working Space 247 Broad St 26,000 SF 97% Leased Office Building Kingsport, TN 37660 $2,466,000 ($94.85/SF)

Turnkey professional space in the historic core of Downtown Kingsport.
The Progress Building at 247 Broad Street — offers move-in ready office space on Kingsport's revitalized Broad Street corridor, available for sale or lease. Unlike value-add projects that require months of build-out, this property is positioned for immediate lease or purchase: ideal for a medical office, law firm, dental practice, technology office, co-working operator, or restaurant/food & beverage concept seeking a prominent downtown address. With local grants available, the property is a compelling opportunity for owner-users and investors alike — occupy it, lease it, or both.
Steady Growth Without the Boom-Bust Risk
Kingsport's steady, measured growth is its quiet advantage. Fast-growing markets like Nashville often
overbuild during boom cycles and pay for it in vacancy spikes. Kingsport doesn't carry that risk. Commercial fundamentals here are unusually tight across every sector — Office at 4.0% vacancy, Retail at 1.5%, and Multifamily at 5.6%, all outperforming national averages.
What makes this property a rare opportunity is the location: the historic core of downtown, where the inventory is finite and effectively irreplaceable. You can't build more historic buildings, and the city isn't adding new ones to the downtown center anytime soon. Includes one passenger elevator, one freight elevator shaft, and front and rear stairwells
The property sits inside Kingsport's Central Business District — a TIF District, PILOT District, federally designated Qualified Opportunity Zone, and Tennessee Main Street area — making it eligible for the City's Façade Grant, Redevelopment Grant, and Downtown Kingsport Loan programs.
Kingsport buying power per dollar of retail rent is 10% to 24% higher than Knoxville, Nashville, and Asheville, NC.
This metric is critical: rent is ultimately funded by tenant revenue, which is directly tied to the purchasing power of the surrounding population. In Kingsport, that relationship is more favorable.
