6,100 SF Junior Anchor Opportunity
Russell Ridge | 1475 Highway 20 | Lawrenceville, GA 30043
Positioned in the heart of one of Gwinnett County’s most established and fastest-growing suburban corridors, Russell Ridge presents a rare 6,100 square foot junior anchor opportunity within a dominant Kroger-anchored neighborhood center. Located along GA-20 / Buford Drive with approximately 34,000 vehicles per day and supported by over 1.7 million annual center visits from 208,000 unique visitors

, this space offers immediate scale, visibility, and built-in daily traffic that few suburban retail environments can replicate.
This is not simply inline space — this is a true merchandising opportunity positioned to capture high-frequency grocery-driven trips while expanding dwell time and destination draw within the center.
The Trade Area: High-Income, Family-Dense, Educated
Within a 3-mile radius, the center serves:
Population: 64,298
Daytime Population: 55,458
Average Household Income: $114,348
Average Home Value: $443,875

The surrounding customer base is heavily weighted toward affluent, diverse, family-centric households. Notably, 37% of visitors fall into the “Fusion Families” segment — affluent, kid-focused suburban households that bundle grocery, service, education, fitness, and dining trips into efficient weekly patterns

.
Additionally, 14% of shoppers align with “Frugal Fashionistas” — digitally engaged, value-driven singles and couples who support trend-led retail, fitness concepts, fast casual, and specialty services

.
This combination creates a powerful dual-demand environment:
• Stable family-driven recurring spend
• Experience-oriented and lifestyle-focused discretionary spend
Void & Gap Analysis – What the Corridor Needs
A review of the current tenant mix at Russell Ridge shows strong daily needs coverage:
Kroger (63,296 SF), AutoZone, Chase Bank, dental, hair, nails, insurance, tutoring, quick service restaurants, and neighborhood services
RussellRidge-Brochure-2-13-26 u…
.
However, what is notably absent within this immediate center footprint is a mid-box experiential or specialty anchor that:
• Drives extended dwell time
• Serves group-based or appointment-based demand
• Attracts evening and weekend traffic beyond quick-service dining
• Expands beyond traditional inline service users
The 6,100 SF footprint fills a size gap between smaller 1,200–3,000 SF service tenants and the 63,000+ SF grocery anchor. That makes this space uniquely suited for operators that require:
• 5,000–7,000 SF footprint
• Open floor plan flexibility
• High parking ratios
• Prominent storefront exposure
• Daily grocery crossover traffic
Within a 5-mile radius (187,491 population) and 10-minute drive (78,050 population)
RussellRidge-Brochure-2-13-26 u…
, there is strong residential density but limited new-construction lifestyle centers immediately adjacent to this corridor. Much of the surrounding retail is either traditional big-box clusters near Mall of Georgia or smaller strip retail. This creates a strategic positioning opportunity for a destination-level user that benefits from grocery adjacency but is not lost in regional mall scale.
Ideal Demand Drivers (Subtly Targeted)
Given the demographic profile, lifestyle segmentation, and existing co-tenancy, this space is particularly well positioned for:
• Boutique fitness or wellness concepts requiring 5,000–7,000 SF
• Children’s enrichment, sports training, or experiential learning concepts
• Specialty medical or therapy operators seeking visibility and co-traffic
• Upscale fast-casual or polished dining that leverages affluent households
• Specialty retail concepts that combine showroom + service
• Home improvement showroom operators serving high home value neighborhoods
• Pet specialty concepts that complement AutoZone and grocery traffic
• Faith-based or community assembly concepts needing strong parking and visibility
The average home values near $444K

indicate strong discretionary spending capacity. Bachelor’s degree attainment exceeds 40% in surrounding radii

, supporting education-focused and enrichment-oriented operators.
The trade area is stable, suburban, and growth-oriented — not volatile, not transient. That stability supports membership-based models, recurring service subscriptions, appointment-driven operators, and destination retail.
Physical Advantages of Suite 509
• Approximately 6,100 SF junior anchor footprint (LOD indicates approx. 6,194 SF)
RussellRidge-Brochure-2-13-26 u…
• Wide frontage with flexible interior layout
• Strong visibility from Georgia Highway 20
• Ample surface parking field
• Co-tenancy with dominant grocer + national brands
• Positioned to capture fuel station cross-traffic and main entrance flow
Unlike smaller inline suites, this footprint allows for:
• Open training floors
• Multi-room layouts
• Private treatment rooms
• Event-based retail
• Studio concepts
• Kitchen venting potential (subject to approvals)
The scale allows operators to establish regional presence without the overhead of standalone construction.
Competitive Positioning vs Nearby Retail
While Mall of Georgia offers regional big-box competition, Russell Ridge offers convenience-driven, weekly-visit patterns. Grocery-anchored centers historically outperform in downturns due to necessity traffic. This location blends necessity retail with lifestyle spend — a resilient formula.
Furthermore, the surrounding residential growth in Lawrenceville and greater Gwinnett continues to push east and north, reinforcing this corridor as an established node rather than speculative development.
