“The Merchant,” one of the most beautiful buildings on Main Street, with lots of history, character, and charm! Originally built as a hotel in the late 1800s. The Merchant includes retail, offices, restaurants, and health & wellness services that promise to be an integral part of downtown Buford’s future. The Merchant building is located in the center of Buford’s Main Street, a classic Southern downtown area with brick sidewalks, benches, train tracks, parks and open spaces. Along the street you will find upscale boutiques, well-known restaurants, artisans, beautiful historic homes, concerts and festivals that attract local and regional visitors. Currently available in The Merchant: A suite of five spacious and private offices, one large conference room, three newly renovated bathrooms, and a small kitchen, as well as newly stained hardwood floors and a beautiful balcony overlooking Main Street. The Suite can be leased in its entirety to a single office or retail business or can be leased as a co-working space with up to five separate professional businesses that share the space common area, lobby, conference room, kitchen and bathrooms. Each one of the five offices features an original historical fireplace and two large, newly installed windows overlooking Scott Street with its charming park and historical churches. The entrance on Main Street features a charming lobby with a new set of stairs as well as an accessibility lift to provide access to the upper floor offices/office suite. Ample free public parking is available. The Merchant boasts a strong demographic: Within a 5-mile radius there are close to 120,000 residents with an average household income of over $103,000, plus daytime employment of more than 40,000 people. All these numbers promise to grow significantly over the next few years due to key residential, commercial, and infrastructure development projects currently underway nearby, not to mention Buford’s nationally recognized public school system, ranked #1 in Georgia.
