Southside Shopping Center in Portsmouth, Virginia is a well-positioned retail strip center offering convenience and visibility in one of the city’s most accessible corridors. Located along Lincoln Street with approximately 300 feet of frontage, the property sits just minutes from I-264 and the Downtown Tunnel, providing seamless connectivity to Norfolk, the Naval Shipyard, and surrounding port facilities. This strategic location makes it an attractive option for businesses seeking proximity to both residential neighborhoods and major employment hubs.
The center spans roughly 20,678 square feet of gross leasable area on a two-acre site, complemented by 112 surface parking spaces—a ratio of about 5.4 spaces per 1,000 square feet. Built in 1953, the property has been maintained to support modern retail and flex uses, featuring tenant-controlled HVAC, air conditioning, and garage door access for select spaces. Monument signage and freeway visibility enhance branding opportunities, while a signalized intersection and public transit access—including bus lines and commuter rail—ensure steady customer flow.
Currently, Southside Shopping Center offers multiple leasing options, with spaces ranging from 1,700 to 2,300 square feet, ideal for retail, office, or showroom configurations. Additional land is available for ground lease, creating potential for expansion or redevelopment. The zoning designation (C-2 Commercial) supports a variety of uses, and previous marketing positioned lease rates at approximately $12 per square foot plus NNN, making it competitive within the Portsmouth market.
