Prime Retail Steps from the Beach
Spaces
Compass has been retained on an exclusive basis to facilitate the lease of 1-92 Beach 116th Street, a highly visible retail opportunity in the heart of Rockaway Beach. Located just steps from the boardwalk and shoreline, the property benefits from exceptional pedestrian traffic, strong neighborhood demographics, and a substantial seasonal influx of beachgoers.
The space consists of up to 5,480 SF above grade, divisible from approximately 1,680 SF, plus a full basement, and can be combined with the neighboring unit for approximately 7,000 SF above grade and 12,000 SF including the basement. Formerly occupied by a daycare, the layout can be adapted for a variety of retail, medical, fitness, educational, entertainment, or service-oriented uses.
A standout feature of the property is its 15'+ ceiling heights, creating an open, flexible environment rarely found in the market. Combined with significant street frontage, excellent visibility, and the historic Woolworth façade, the space offers a unique branding opportunity along one of Rockaway's busiest commercial corridors.
Ownership is willing to work with qualified tenants on a build-to-suit basis, allowing users to customize the premises to meet their operational needs.
With flexible sizing, exceptional frontage, strong foot traffic, and immediate proximity to the beach, 1-92 Beach 116th Street offers a rare opportunity to establish a presence in one of New York City's most dynamic waterfront neighborhoods.
