Fortunately I had keys to the units or they would have broke the glass to gain entry.I had a Chineese restaurant that moved out of a unit and never returned their key.

We have an eight unit commercial strip center with mixed-use tenants including retail and restaurant.

Restaurant franchise? 

It is a restaurant in Southern California and their chef has left and they have no business, but obviously this party has done this before.

My firm, Brown Harris Stevens, has a deep national and international sphere with thousands of affiliates- let me know if you'd like me to connect you to our partners in Washington State.I studied Hotel & Restaurant Management in college- I recommend taking the total # of keys (rooms) in the hotel, multiply by 365, which leads you to the maximum number of stays per year, and find out the average cost per night, and the average rack rate (highest price someone is willing to pay) for the hotel.

After a couple of years we plan to move into a single family home.The duplex is in a great, in demand, area: one of the hotter areas of the city, near a lot of craft breweries, restaurants, art galleries, etc.

Like restaurants , gas stations , grocery stores .

There are actually 2 more breweries and a couple restaurants and a large shopping complex going in around there.What do you think of the prices of housing stock around Tacoma at the moment?

However, would a property in the MIDDLE or VERY EDGE of the retail and restaurant district go drastically up as a residential or even a business.

The one on Meetup.com, which I attended for the first time last week happens on the 4th Monday of each month, typically at The Filling Station restaurant/brewery.
