Description

This loft-style, street-level retail space offers a highly versatile opportunity for both owner-users and investors, available for lease or sale. The space features approximately 60 feet of prominent street frontage along North Avenue, delivering exceptional visibility, signage presence, and strong branding exposure in a high-traffic corridor. Floor-to-ceiling storefront windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting the authentic loft character defined by exposed brick walls and dramatic high wood-beam ceilings. The layout is well-suited for a range of retail, showroom, creative, or service-oriented uses and can be efficiently subdivided to accommodate multiple users or phased occupancy. In addition to the main retail floor, the property includes valuable basement storage, providing functional back-of-house space rarely available in comparable offerings. A common rooftop outdoor area further enhances the space, offering unique flexibility for tenant or owner use, events, or experiential programming. Two dedicated parking spaces add a meaningful amenity for ownership, staff, or select customer access-an increasingly scarce feature in this submarket.
