Overview
A compact, well-positioned commercial unit in central Sassari, this corner property has street frontage onto both Via Rolando and Via Sardegna. Spread over roughly 100 m² across two levels, it features a covered portico that offers sheltered display or reception space while maintaining clear
visibility onto busy pedestrian routes. The unit is offered in full ownership and is reported to be in good condition.
Why this location works
Corner sites with dual exposure are simply easier to notice. The twin façades provide generous window frontage for merchandising and naturally draw walk-in traffic from two directions. The covered portico functions as a soft threshold—ideal for seasonal displays, welcoming customers, or staging an outdoor reception without blocking
sightlines from the street. Being in the city centre also means easy access to public transport, municipal services and the everyday flow of residents and workers.
Practical uses and layout flexibility
This layout adapts well to a range of uses: boutique retail, fast-casual food, artisan studios with a showroom, service businesses or compact urban warehousing with a customer-facing front. The two-floor arrangement separates public and private
areas neatly—ground floor for sales and display, upper floor for storage, workshop or offices—so you can operate and secure back-of-house functions independently.
Small, low-cost changes to windows and entry staging can noticeably boost walk-ins. A tested approach: run two different window creatives for two-week cycles, measure footfall and conversion, then iterate. Simple tracking—door counters, POS conversion, short in-store surveys—will tell you what works.
Key considerations for buyers
– Documentation: Verify cadastral plans, official floor plans and all technical documentation before committing. – Compliance and systems: Check utilities, fire-safety certificates and any restrictions on shopfront changes or portico use. – Structural and access checks: Confirm load capacities if you plan to convert the upper floor for storage or light production. – Planning and permits: Confirm signage, awning and portico treatments meet local rules.
Performance metrics to monitor
Focus on measurable indicators that reflect customer behaviour and financial return:
– Footfall and footfall split by entrance – Conversion rate and average transaction value – Dwell time and repeat visit rate – Inventory turnover for back-of-house operations – ROAS if you run linked digital campaigns
Track weekly during any launch or visual-refresh campaign, then move to monthly reporting once patterns stabilise. Early signals—longer dwell time and rising conversion—often appear within six to eight weeks of a targeted window campaign.
Technical and investment summary
– Area: circa 100 m² on two levels – Condition: reported good maintenance; buyers should confirm via survey – Ownership: full property (freehold) – Condominium charges (indicative): €60/month – Energy class: indicative—must be confirmed during transaction – Asking price: €75,000
Budget items to plan for include tenant fit-out (display lighting, durable finishes), back-of-house shelving and access improvements, plus any portico weatherproofing or signage permits. Structural works should be minimal if load-bearing elements remain unchanged, but always verify.
Due diligence and next steps
Carry out a focused, practical due diligence:
– On-site verification of cadastral and technical documentation – Energy certificate and condition survey to confirm maintenance claims – Review of planning constraints, easements and signage rules – Confirm utility capacities and fire-safety compliance
