Downtown Durham Creative Office Space — Historic Penny Furniture Building
An opportunity to lease 1,300 sq ft of distinctive commercial space in the heart of Downtown Durham. Located on the second floor of the historic Penny Furniture Building — originally built in 1905 and redesigned by Center Studio Architecture — this space offers character that’s impossible to replicate in a conventional office.
The layout combines open collaborative areas with private rooms, suited to a creative studio, design firm, tech company, or any professional operation that values an inspiring environment. Exposed brick, concrete and hardwood floors, and tall ceilings carry the building’s industrial-chic aesthetic throughout.
The suite operates independently with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and dedicated rear entrance. Available on its own or combined with the adjacent 1,700 sq ft residential loft for a full live/work floor of 3,000+ sq ft.
Located in the heart of Downtown Durham, steps from local favorites like Toast, Pizzeria Toro, M-Sushi, the Carolina Theatre, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and DPAC.
