When people think of the term “curb appeal”, they usually associate it with residential real estate only. However, it is just as crucial for commercial real estate.
Boosting the curb appeal of your commercial property can potentially net you more customers. This includes creating a welcoming environment via landscaping, lighting and more.
Enhancing curb appeal at night
Greenway discusses ways to enhance a commercial property. First and foremost, focus on landscaping and lighting. Your property should look great both at night and during the day, and many people make the mistake of only focusing on daytime curb appeal.
To enhance your property’s curb appeal at night, ensure that your entrances, walkways and the parking lot itself all have good lighting.
It is also important for tenants to return to and leave in their cars at night without having any security issues, and having a well-lit parking lot and general property helps with that.
Keeping up with landscaping
When it comes to landscaping, never underestimate the addition of some green space in a community property. Healthy plants and a good mix of contrasting colors will give people something to look at and remember and will give the property a sense of life.
Finally, ensure that all signs on the property are in compliance with local laws, clean and visible. Keeping the front of the property clean is also crucial. This can include cleaning the doors and keeping the paint fresh.
By making the property look good day and night, it can attract more clientele and keep the whole property alive and well.
