1st Floor Ste Retail 2,210 SF $65.90 USD/SF/YR
Position your restaurant concept in one of Berkeley’s most vibrant and sought-after dining corridors. This rare ±2,210 (1,912 useable) SF second-generation restaurant opportunity is strategically located near the highly trafficked intersection of Shattuck Avenue and University Avenue, just one block from the world-renowned University of California, Berkeley campus. Surrounded by a dynamic mix of students, faculty, professionals, residents, and visitors, the location enjoys exceptional pedestrian activity throughout the day and evening in one of the Bay Area’s most energetic college-town environments.

The current ownership invested approximately $800,000 into a high-quality buildout, delivering a modern, thoughtfully designed restaurant space that is well-positioned for immediate operation. The premises come equipped with valuable existing infrastructure, including a commercial hood system, walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, and essential kitchen equipment — significantly reducing startup time and construction costs for an incoming operator.

One of the most valuable features of this opportunity is the existing gas line, an increasingly rare asset in Berkeley due to restrictions on gas in new construction projects. This gives future operators a major competitive advantage and flexibility for a wide range of restaurant concepts.

With strong daytime and nighttime foot traffic, nearby office presence, dense residential neighborhoods, and the constant energy generated by the Berkeley community, this location offers an outstanding opportunity to establish a successful and thriving restaurant business in a premier market. Rarely do turnkey opportunities with this level of infrastructure, location, and built-in customer base become available in Berkeley. Don’t miss the chance to bring your vision to one of the East Bay’s most desirable restaurant destinations.
