Retail Space in Sunrise
Sawgrass Mills bends everything around it. Retail within its orbit competes for tourist and regional traffic and prices accordingly; retail out on Oakland Park Boulevard, Nob Hill Road or the residential stretches of Sunrise Boulevard is a neighborhood business with neighborhood economics. Deciding which one you are is the first conversation I have with a tenant. The second is visibility, because plenty of Sunrise centers sit behind deep landscaped setbacks that look nice and hide your sign.
Retail value in Sunrise is all about the corner — frontage, visibility, co-tenancy, and foot traffic move the number more than square footage. Most retail here is NNN, so taxes, insurance, and CAM on top of base rent are the figure that matters. I help you read the location and the full occupancy cost before you sign.
The one Sunrise retail size band the data will support
Recorded retail sales in Sunrise only run deep enough to publish one size band, and this is it: buildings 2,500 to 10,000 SF traded at a median of $451/SF across 17 arm’s-length sales, 2021 through 2024.
Sunrise retail — median price per square foot by building size. Recorded arm’s-length sales, 2021–2024.
| Building size | Sales | Median $/SF | Middle half | Median price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,500–10,000 SF | 17 | $451 | $321–$844 | $2.20M |
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
These are medians of recorded arm’s-length sales, not appraisals, and a band carrying 17 sales is a starting point rather than a valuation.
Sunrise only produces enough recorded retail sales to publish a single size band. That is worth knowing on its own: a thin market moves on individual buildings, and a comp set this narrow argues for looking at the specific property rather than the submarket.
Hold size still and the spread is still wide. Inside the 2,500 to 10,000 SF band the middle half of Sunrise sales ran $321 to $844/SF — a 2.6× range on buildings of broadly the same size. That gap is condition, location and how the deal was made, and it is the part a table cannot price for you.
The same pattern runs through all three counties — I broke out every county and asset class in why small commercial buildings cost more per square foot. Before you accept a per-foot number on a retail building here, check which row it sits in. Or send me the address and I will do it — the value-my-property tool is free.

Frequently asked
What does retail space cost in Sunrise?

What does NNN mean for retail rent?
NNN (triple-net) means you pay base rent plus your share of taxes, insurance, and common-area maintenance. Those add-ons can be a large slice of your true cost, so always price the fully-loaded gross number, not just base rent.
Do you help with retail space in Sunrise?
Yes — tenant and buyer representation for retail space across Sunrise and all of Broward County. I work for you; on lease deals the landlord pays my fee.
Does signage matter more than frontage for Sunrise retail space?
They’re linked, and signage is the one people forget to negotiate. Get your pylon or monument panel position written into the lease with a size, not a vague promise about the landlord’s reasonable discretion. In centers set back from Sunrise Boulevard or Pine Island Road, that panel is doing more work than your storefront is.
What does a 4,000 SF retail building cost in Sunrise?
The 2,500 to 10,000 SF band in Sunrise carries a median of $451/SF across 17 recorded arm’s-length sales, so a 4,000 SF building prices out around $1,800,000 before you adjust for anything specific. The middle half of that band ran $321 to $844/SF, and condition, location and access move a building inside that range faster than size does.
Does building size change the price per square foot in Sunrise?
Across South Florida it does, consistently — in every county and every asset class I have run, small buildings carry a higher price per square foot than large ones. Sunrise retail has only 1 size band with enough recorded sales to publish, so the comparison has to be made against county-level figures rather than local ones.
