Description

219 Central Ave presents an opportunity to lease a highly adaptable corner ground-floor commercial space in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn. Comprising approximately 1,400 square feet on the ground level, this corner unit offers exceptional street presence with wraparound window frontage, dual egress, and strong visibility along a proven, culture-driven corridor. Formerly operated as a café, bar, event venue, and recording/streaming space, the property benefits from substantial existing infrastructure that supports a wide range of retail, hospitality, and creative uses. The layout includes a dedicated soundproofed back room suitable for recording, streaming, or private events, a separate performance or event area, and an established bar or lounge footprint. Two half bathrooms, two-zone HVAC (front and back), and additional basement storage further enhance operational flexibility. With an approved occupancy of approximately 76 and light outdoor seating potential at the frontage, the space is well positioned for operators seeking both experiential engagement and efficient build-out.
Situated on a high-visibility corner amid Bushwick’s vibrant mix of nightlife, creative studios, residential development, and destination retail, 219 Central Ave presents a compelling opportunity for operators seeking a flexible, character-driven space with existing infrastructure and strong street presence. The property is well suited for a broad range of commercial, experiential, and creative concepts, offering incoming tenants the ability to tailor the space to their operational needs while capitalizing on a proven location within one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
