Our Vision for Cotter
What we are looking for
Artisan Retail
Boutique & Artisan Shops
We are seeking talented makers and curators to fill our retail spaces. From fine art studios and handcrafted jewelry to unique home goods and artisan crafts, we provide the perfect industrial-chic backdrop to showcase your products to the Cotter community.
Food & Drink
Boutique Eateries
Nothing brings a community together like great food. We are specifically looking for a specialty bakery, a craft coffee shop, or a curated tea room. Join us in creating a delicious destination where locals and visitors can gather and linger.
Professional Services
Curated Services
Designed for high-traffic and high-style. We have dedicated spaces tailored for a modern barber shop, a boutique salon, or a professional realtor's office. Move into a turn-key space that reflects the quality and professionalism of your brand.
Move-In Ready. Turn-Key Success.
We believe the heartbeat of our plaza is the success of our merchants. We are developing this space to eliminate the traditional barriers of commercial leasing—providing an affordable, high-impact home for your business in the heart of downtown Cotter.
The All-Inclusive Advantage:
- Fixed Monthly Rent: All-inclusive leases starting under $1k/month.
- Flexible Options: Final rates are tailored to unit size and utility requirements.
- Essentials Included: High-speed Wi-Fi and all utilities bundled into one simple payment.
- Zero Friction: Move-in ready and turn-key from day one.
By handling the overhead and logistics, we empower you to focus entirely on your craft.
