The Market Analysis

A market analysis outlines what the economy will realistically support in the Town of Parker. The goal of the market analysis was to:

  • Analyzes market demands for specific community needs and identify the changing market demands and demographics

  • Inventory current business types, industries, and commercial spaces and analyze what works well

  • Conduct a financial analysis to see what kind of businesses the community can support

 

The identified uses for EastMain are:

Professional Office

Professional office space is located on upper levels of multi-use buildings with mixed-use ground-floor retail and restaurant space on the ground floor. Professional office spaces bring people into downtown during the day, increase activity during current non-peak hours and provide sales tax revenue while also creating a lively daytime atmosphere. New office space trends include co-working and shared office environments, often incorporating small retail uses like cafes and coffee shops.

 

Downtown Living

This residential space could be lofts or condos on the upper levels of multi-use buildings with ground floor shopping and dining options. Downtown living supports retail uses and encourages more local shopping and dining options for everyone

 

Boutique Hotel

Boutique hotels can also provide event space beneficial to a vibrant downtown and include other high-end features, including restaurants, bars, and even entertainment space.
