Rent Types
The rent amount and type that the tenant (lessee) will be responsible to pay to the landlord (lessor) throughout the lease term is negotiated prior to both parties signing a lease agreement. The rent type will vary depending upon the services provided. For example, triple net rents are typically lower than full service rents due to additional expenses the tenant is required to pay in addition to the base rent. Contact the listing broker for a full understanding of any associated costs or additional expenses for each rent type.
1. Full Service: A rental rate that includes normal building standard services as provided by the landlord within a base year rental.
2. Double Net (NN): Tenant pays for only two of the building expenses; the landlord and tenant determine the specific expenses prior to signing the lease agreement.
3. Triple Net (NNN): A lease in which the tenant is responsible for all expenses associated with their proportional share of occupancy of the building.
4. Modified Gross: Modified Gross is a general type of lease rate where typically the tenant will be responsible for their proportional share of one or more of the expenses.

About the Property

Constructed in 2023 with contemporary branding appeal, clean sightlines, and a dual drive-thru configuration, the property delivers a highly adaptable layout suitable for coffee, QSR, financial services, or medical-lite operators seeking speed, convenience, and strong visibility in a rapidly expanding trade area. Two dedicated access points allow smooth traffic flow from Riley Rd and the adjacent thoroughfare network, while ample on-site parking supports both drive-thru volume and in-store activity. The surrounding environment enhances the asset’s viability. The site sits moments from the University of North Georgia’s Dahlonega campus, drawing from a population of more than 7,300 students, faculty, staff, and visitors daily. The immediate trade area offers an attractive demographic foundation, with median household incomes climbing across the one-, three-, and five-mile radii, signaling strong discretionary spending among year-round residents. Dahlonega’s historic downtown, thriving retail and dining scene, and regional tourism driven by wineries, outdoor recreation, and seasonal events further expand demand potential beyond the local base. The property benefits from steady traffic counts along Morrison Moore Pkwy E, where more than 15,900 vehicles pass the corridor daily. Dahlonega’s central position within the Appalachian gateway places it within practical reach of Gainesville, Cumming, and northern Atlanta suburbs, pulling from both the commuter and weekend-destination audiences. With modern construction, flexible design, and a strategic position within a high-growth, experience-oriented community, this property presents a rare chance for operators to secure long-term brand advantage in one of Georgia’s most visited mountain towns.
