Description
Ground-floor retail condo on 42nd Street with full glass frontage—small space, big exposure. Approximately 194 SF, this is a clean, efficient “jewel-box” built for businesses that rely on visibility and repeat customers.
You’re right on a high-traffic corridor near the Hudson River, Javits Center, Intrepid, Pier 84, and surrounded by residential buildings and daily foot flow. This is steady traffic all day—not a guessing game.
The key advantage is simple: 421A tax abatement = very low property taxes. Your monthly costs stay low, which means more profit and less pressure compared to a typical West Side lease.
Perfect for service-driven businesses that don’t need big space but need the right location—law or consulting office, flower shop, cigar or liquor concept, phone/tech services, luxury drop-off laundry, barber, tailoring, or boutique neighborhood services.
Private street entrance, floor-to-ceiling glass (your business is always on display), plus 60-amp power, private bathroom, and its own HVAC already in place. No co-op board, no complications—this is a straightforward condo purchase.
If you’re tired of paying rent and want a visible, affordable place to run your business in Manhattan, this is it.
Sale Notes
Built for smart, service-driven operators who don’t need size—they need the right block. This layout works cleanly for cigar or liquor concepts, phone and electronics services, boutique legal or professional use, repair shops, premium drop-off businesses, and compact retail like floral, jewelry, or specialty food (pre-packaged/refrigerated).
What makes it work is the environment around you: CVS, 7-Eleven (24hr), Subway, FedEx, UPS, Pet Square, a high-volume coffee house, deli & café, and even an NYPD presence—these aren’t projections, they’re daily traffic drivers already in place, pulling consistent foot flow to your door.
This is a corridor built for constant activity, sitting within immediate reach of Hudson Yards, the Javits Center, and Port Authority—meaning customers are always moving through, morning to night.
The numbers are where it gets interesting: the 421A tax abatement is in place, which directly lowers property taxes and keeps your monthly carry low. Simple math—lower expenses, stronger margins.
You’re buying a true commercial condo, not dealing with co-op restrictions—faster process, full control of your space, and long-term flexibility.
The space is already set up to operate: 60-amp power, private ADA-compliant bathroom, and its own HVAC system. No heavy build-out needed—open and start generating.
If you’re looking for a small, visible, cost-efficient location surrounded by proven businesses that already attract your customer, this is a very straightforward play.
