Unit 3616 is a versatile 1,578 SF rear commercial space with full alley access, ideally configured for Ghost Kitchens, CloudKitchens-style operators, Laurel Kitchens-type multi-brand culinary platforms, catering prep, delivery-only virtual restaurants, and modern food-production concepts. The space is privately located behind the Jefferson frontage, offering direct loading, vehicle access, and a quiet operational zone with no customer traffic — exactly what delivery-first businesses and production-driven operators need.
The unit features existing interior partitioning, plumbing lines, power, and flexible open-plan areas suited for kitchen build-out or multi-line production. Tenants may install a Type I or Type II hood, grease interceptor, prep sinks, handwashing stations, floor drains, walk-in coolers, refrigeration walls, packaging lines, or specialized equipment subject to City approval. The layout supports multi-brand production similar to CloudKitchens, Laurel Kitchens, or other shared-use culinary ecosystems. Food entrepreneurs launching new delivery-only brands, meal-prep services, or commissary-support operations can scale efficiently from this location.
Because of the alley-facing configuration, the unit is ideal for Ghost-Kitchen / delivery-only virtual restaurant operators (including new or emerging digital food brands that operate exclusively via apps like Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub, and Postmates). Experienced food groups seeking a centralized back-of-house hub for multiple restaurant concepts will appreciate the privacy, efficiency, and workflow advantages. The space is also well-suited for micro-fulfillment (Amazon/Shopify), beverage production, bakery/CPG manufacturing, dark-kitchen incubators, and partners who need reliable logistics rather than retail frontage.
CloudKitchens-compatible operations: The space mirrors many of the functional requirements used by CloudKitchens facilities, including flexible build-out potential, private entry, high-efficiency dispatch capability, and strong adjacency to dense delivery zones. Operators can run multiple digital brands from a single production line.
Laurel Kitchens-style setups: Multi-brand culinary production is fully viable here, with room for ingredient storage, cold prep, hot line, packaging station, rider pickup, and administrative space.
Beyond food, the space also supports creative-studio, showroom, or light-manufacturing-plus-retail concepts, including furniture fabrication, art studios, boutique product manufacturing, design workshops, prop building, printmaking, fashion production, e-commerce fulfillment, gallery/workshop hybrids, or artisan makerspaces. The zoning and physical structure allow for a wide range of creative commercial uses without needing traditional street frontage. Artists, designers, and fabricators can maintain a private production area with the flexibility to meet clients by appointment or run limited retail operations.
The property is positioned in a rapidly revitalizing corridor near Jefferson & Crenshaw, within minutes of the 10 Fwy, Downtown LA, Culver City, West Adams, Mid-City, and Baldwin Hills. Delivery drivers can reach major LA neighborhoods within 15–25 minutes, making this one of the most strategic delivery-hub locations in the city. The alley provides direct van/truck access for receiving ingredients, staging orders, or loading packaged goods. Secure rear access enhances privacy and operational flow for high-volume production.
Existing improvements include electrical service, plumbing infrastructure, private access, storage zones, and a flexible footprint that can be subdivided, expanded, or programmed into workflow-efficient stations. The landlord is open to tenant improvements, hood and venting upgrades, and food-service plumbing/equipment install with proper plans and permits. Operators who require confidentiality, noise separation, and fast dispatch will find substantial advantages compared to traditional storefronts.
The surrounding neighborhood offers strong residential density, busy traffic corridors, and high app-based delivery demand. This is an ideal hub for culinary brands expanding into digital markets, meal-prep companies optimizing delivery routes, commissary operators needing overflow capacity, and creative businesses requiring private flex space. The rectangular layout with clear spans allows production, packaging, inventory management, and light manufacturing. Businesses operating multiple brands or SKUs can easily scale within this footprint.
Unit 3616 provides rare access to an efficient, private, back-of-house commercial environment with flexible-use approvals. Whether for CloudKitchens-style operations, Laurel Kitchens-type shared culinary production, delivery-only restaurant brands, food manufacturing, creative fabrication, showroom-plus-studio, or general flex-commercial use, this space supports modern operators seeking speed, scalability, customizable infrastructure, and logistical advantage. Available now. Rear alley access. Private entrance. Build-out friendly. High-efficiency dispatch location.
