Brand new two-level retail at 27 Montrose Avenue in Brooklyn — 1,500 SF total, 750 SF on each level, delivered in a full modern renovation.
The lower level is what separates this space from anything comparable at this footprint. It has exceptional ceiling height, its own bathroom, and a private interior staircase leading down to it. That combination means it functions as a second floor rather than a storage cellar — you can put customers, treatment rooms, seating, studio space, workstations, or a full second retail floor down there and it will feel like a room people want to be in. Most operators pricing out 750 SF are effectively getting double.
Upstairs, full glass display frontage with direct street access gives the space real visibility from the sidewalk. Polished concrete floors and exposed polished concrete ceilings run throughout, delivering a finished, modern industrial aesthetic that photographs well and needs no additional work to look intentional.
A kitchenette is already installed, and there are two bathrooms — one on each level — which is unusual at this size and meaningful for both customer-facing uses and staff operations.
Everything is brand new. No prior tenant's build-out to demolish, no deferred maintenance, no systems reaching end of life.

WHY THE LAYOUT WORKS
Two-level spaces normally force a compromise: the lower floor becomes storage because the ceilings are low, the access is awkward, or there's no bathroom down there. None of that applies here. High ceilings, private stair access, and a dedicated bathroom on each level mean both floors are fully usable. Retail up front and treatment rooms below. Dining upstairs and a private room downstairs. Showroom above and studio beneath. The building does not decide the layout — you do.
LOCATION
Montrose Avenue sits in one of Brooklyn's most active neighborhood retail corridors, with dense surrounding residential, steady pedestrian volume, and a trade area that has consistently absorbed new independent food, beverage, wellness, and boutique concepts. The Montrose Ave L station is a short walk, putting Williamsburg minutes away and Manhattan a direct ride.
