  • Any other known venue
  • Block outline: 800 m

55 of 100

Unserved. 0 within 800 m (estimated). 2.6x a typical venue.

Held up against 3 attempts to rule it out
  • Tried to rule out: it will not fit 5,200 sq ft. Kept because the typical arthouse cinema runs 3,000 to 12,000 sq ft and this unit is 5,200.
  • Tried to rule out: the demand is just general popularity. Kept because a plain popularity ranking gives it 1.8x a typical venue, against 2.6x from this block's taste, so the demand is specific to this block.
  • Tried to rule out: a strong arthouse cinema just outside the 800 m ring. Kept because none within 1,600 m either.

3 gaps held up, 3 ruled out

The agent tried to prove each top gap wrong first: it will not fit the unit, the demand is just general popularity, or a strong venue of the same kind sits just outside the radius. The first attempt that works drops the gap.

  • Record shop Ruled out (was contested): the typical record shop runs 400 to 2,000 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs
    • Tried to rule out: it will not fit 5,200 sq ft. Dropped because the typical record shop runs 400 to 2,000 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs.
  • Third-wave coffee Ruled out (was contested): the typical third-wave coffee runs 500 to 2,500 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs
    • Tried to rule out: it will not fit 5,200 sq ft. Dropped because the typical third-wave coffee runs 500 to 2,500 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs.
  • Ramen shop Ruled out (was latent): the typical ramen shop runs 600 to 2,200 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs
    • Tried to rule out: it will not fit 5,200 sq ft. Dropped because the typical ramen shop runs 600 to 2,200 sq ft, so 5,200 sq ft is far more than it needs.

Arthouse cinema for Fixture Cinema 01: 5,200 sq ft at 1400 block of E 55th St

Hello,

I run the vacancy programme of the business improvement district. Your unit at 1400 block of E 55th St, Chicago is a former furniture showroom, 5,200 sq ft with 52 ft of frontage.

Arthouse cinema scores 55 of 100 on this block's taste (2.6 times a typical venue); none sits within 800 m. Fixture Cinema 01 is the brand to approach: its fans over-index on this block's taste, favouring Fixture Records 355, Fixture Coffee Roasters 327 and Fixture Board Game Cafe 346, and has no store within 800 m. The block's audience also loves Fixture Artist 27 and Fixture Podcast 12.

May I introduce them, or shall I send the one-page block report?

Best regards
