Commercial premises on Joaquín Escobar Street, Garrucha
We are offering for sale these commercial premises located on Joaquín Escobar Street, a secondary but commercially active street in Garrucha (Almería). The property has 58.87 m² built and 53.54 m² usable, was built in 1993 and faces east. It is in good overall condition and, given its size and layout, is particularly well suited to service-based businesses open to the public: a hairdresser’s, a beauty salon, a consulting room or offices would all work well here.
Frontage with two shop windows
The premises have a 4.40 metre frontage divided into two shop windows, giving good visibility and allowing the front of the business to be set out as two distinct display areas. The average internal height is around 2.90 metres. At the rear there is a small, high-set window looking onto the street behind; although modest in size, it brings ventilation and some natural light through to the inner part of the unit as well.
Ready to trade from day one
Inside, the unit is fully finished, with no prior building work needed before moving a business in. It comes with air conditioning already installed, an electric shutter at the entrance and windows fitted with security bars. The current layout consists of a reception area at the front, a small room, and, towards the rear, a bathroom area. It is a straightforward setup, suited to the day-to-day running of a customer-facing business.
An open-plan space, free of columns
One of the strong points of this property is that there are no intermediate supporting columns across the whole floor area. This means that, should a full refurbishment be planned, there is no structural element in the way to constrain the design. The space is therefore completely free to be reconfigured to suit whatever business moves in, without the usual limitations that load-bearing columns tend to impose.
Potential for conversion to residential use
One point worth highlighting is that, thanks to its position with frontage onto two streets and natural ventilation from both the main façade and the small rear window, these premises could be considered for conversion to residential use. This is not something that happens automatically: the appropriate authorisation and planning permission would need to be applied for and granted by the local town hall. However, the combination of dual street frontage, the absence of columns and some degree of cross ventilation, albeit limited by the size of the rear window, makes this a realistic option worth looking into for anyone interested in this type of project in the area.
Location
The premises are a 290 metre walk from the sea, on a commercial street in Garrucha, making it easy for customers to reach on foot while also giving the business good visibility. Its position on an active, if secondary, commercial street makes it of interest both to an established business looking for its own premises and to anyone looking to start up in the area.
No commission charged to the buyer
At ZAR 2010 we handle this sale without charging any commission to the buyer: 0% of the cost of the transaction is covered on our side.
