Description 

ONE NYC RE has been retained on an exclusive basis to present the leasing opportunity at 521–545 Empire Boulevard — a rare, fully built-out commercial building of approximately 32,900 square feet in the heart of Crown Heights’ rapidly transforming Empire Boulevard retail corridor.

The property offers a combination almost impossible to replicate in today’s Brooklyn market: a 13,000 SF turnkey supermarket with refrigeration, loading docks and a private drive in place; a licensed, built-out medical facility; and a 16,000+ SF second floor with 20-foot ceilings ideally suited to storage, fulfillment or distribution — all served by private parking for 30 vehicles and direct rear-yard access along the Empire/Montgomery laneway for shipments and deliveries.

The entire building can be leased as a single user from the beginning of 2027, or divided into its component spaces. Terms are flexible and dependent on use, footprint and tenant covenant.

Highlights

Turnkey grocery infrastructure in place — refrigeration, walk-ins, loading docks and a private drive
Licensed medical fit-out — a built-out, previously licensed ambulatory/medical suite ready for a healthcare, urgent-care or specialty operator.
20-foot clear high-bay second floor — over 16,000 SF flush with the Empire/Montgomery laneway
Demand-proven corridor — Lidl, Chipotle, Western Beef and McDonald’s all operate within a few blocks; thousands of new residential units are entitled
Flexible structure — lease the entire building or individual components; delivery from Q1 2027
