2. Freestanding Identity with Two-Sided Exposure
Unlike a typical inline retail bay, the property provides standalone presence, two-sided street frontage, and meaningful branding potential, allowing a tenant to create a true destination rather than simply occupy space.
3. Flexible Restaurant, Retail, and Experiential Format
The 6,250 SF ground floor plus a 1,400 SF mezzanine is well-suited for a flagship restaurant, lifestyle retail concept, showroom, private club, entertainment use, or hybrid food-and-beverage retail experience.
4. 1,400 SF Mezzanine for Private Revenue Uses
The mezzanine creates a differentiated second level ideal for a cocktail lounge, speakeasy, private dining room, VIP area, brand activation space, or elevated retail experience.

Existing kitchen and back-of-house areas, together with a full 6,250 SF basement, provide the operational infrastructure needed to support a high-volume food, beverage, retail, or hospitality concept.
