Large Commercial Rental - How Many Prims do you need/want?

I am considering setting up a fairly large parcel I own as an office/large commercial park. The idea is to have 3 to 4 fair sized, two level buildings connected by tubes/walkways. I believe I could offer somewhere between 400 to 500 prims at around 2.4L per prim per week for use by the commercial tenants for inventory, vendors etc. with a private locked office are in each building for whatever. I think I would only rent monthly, but give 1 week free when the first month is paid.

Is there a market for something like this or do most fair sized commercial operators already own good sized parcels? If there was a market, just how many prims does someone like a clothing/hair/skin retailer need? Is 400 to 500 too many? I could also do maybe 5 buildings with 200 to 300 prims available.

Any thoughts?

I think you will probably find enough people to take up to 500 prims, however, I think you may find it hard getting started as most people renting that much commercial space will want to see high traffic on the plot. However I know from experience that there are a lot of people out there with more money than sense, so you should give it a go. The design you suggested for the complex certainly sounds interesting, so if the build is good enough that will help attract prospective tenants.

Thanks for your advice Porky. As a succeful business owner in SL, your opinion means alot.

Fortunately, my store is already on the parcel and is generating a fair good amount of traffic. The sim is essentially sold out with at least two casinos in spitting distance (but on other sims thankfully). This is a corner parcel of about 9700 sqm on a newer sim so lag is not bad.

I think I will go ahead with the project. I just need to find a good build/prefab to work with and try to keep the overhead prims down as much as possible.
