2nd Floor Ste 200 and 201 Office 2,900 SF $22.00 USD/SF/YR
This is a rare opportunity to lease the entire second floor of the historic Penny Furniture Building — over 3,000 sq ft of architecturally striking space in the heart of downtown Durham, designed by Center Studio Architecture. Take the full floor, or lease the loft and office suite separately — the choice is yours.

The full floor comprises two distinct areas: a 1,700 sq ft residential loft and a 1,300 sq ft rear office suite, each with its own character and infrastructure, yet seamlessly connected for live/work or fully commercial use.

The loft features an expansive open floor plan, exposed brick walls, stained concrete floors, custom steel metalwork, soaring ceilings, and a chef's kitchen with concrete countertops. The rear office suite operates independently with its own bathroom, kitchenette, hardwood floors, and private rear entrance — ideal for a separate team, studio, or client-facing operation.

Together, the spaces offer flexibility that's nearly impossible to find downtown: use the full floor as a bold commercial headquarters, a creative campus, or a combined live/work environment entirely on your own terms.

  • Date available: Mar 2026
  • Lease term: Negotiable
  • Service type: Plus All Utilities
  • Built out as: Standard Office
  • Space Type: New
