74 Willoughby Street is a highly optimized commercial retail and food service opportunity situated in one of the most transit-connected corridors in Downtown Brooklyn. Positioned steps from the Jay St-MetroTech, DeKalb Ave, and Borough Hall transit hubs, the property captures immediate access to the A, C, F, R, B, Q, 2, 3, 4, and 5 subway lines. This location benefits from exceptional 7-day-a-week consumer foot traffic driven by major high-density anchors, including Fulton Mall, City Point, LIU Brooklyn, MetroTech Center, and the nearby Brooklyn Tower development.
The back-of-house space is engineered to minimize tenant startup capital and accelerate the timeline to doors-open, featuring pre-installed, code-compliant commercial infrastructure. The cooking line is equipped with a professional, pre-installed stainless steel exhaust hood ventilation system, dedicated venting, and stainless steel prep tables. A separate, dedicated prep and sanitation workspace is fully equipped with heavy-duty commercial multi-compartment sinks, hand-wash stations, and steel wire inventory shelving. Building systems include high-efficiency, tenant-controlled Daikin split HVAC units, sub-metered water, and a robust, all-electric utility infrastructure that completely eliminates the need for gas and seamlessly supports high-capacity commercial cooking equipment.
The rear exit provides direct access to a private, approximately 300-square-foot concrete-paved courtyard enclosed by a white vinyl privacy fence. This secure and highly versatile outdoor area is optimized strictly for utility, serving as a dedicated employee break area, extra commercial storage, or mechanical and logistical support.
