1st Floor Ste Retail 1,700 SF Rate Upon Request
1,700 SF at street level with a 900 SF basement below — 2,600 SF total, structured so that storage, prep, inventory, and back-of-house all live downstairs and the entire ground floor stays productive. For a retail or food operator, that’s the difference between a floor plan that works and one that’s constantly fighting itself.

Full glass display frontage gives the space real presence on Atlantic Avenue, with the visibility and natural light that a solid-facade unit can’t offer. Central air is already installed — one of the larger line items in any build-out, handled before you sign.

Delivered as a clean white box with no prior tenant’s layout to work around. Configure the floor to your concept rather than inheriting someone else’s.

EXPANSION OPTION
A separate 500 SF retail space is available immediately next door. Take it alongside this unit for additional footprint, use it as a satellite or complementary concept, or leave it — but it’s worth knowing that room to grow already exists at the same address, which is rarely true on a corridor like this.

WHY THIS CORRIDOR
Atlantic Avenue between Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill has become one of Brooklyn’s strongest independent retail stretches. The trade area draws from two of the borough’s highest-income residential neighborhoods, and the tenant mix skews toward owner-operated food, wellness, and boutique concepts rather than national chains — which is precisely why customers seek it out. A well-run independent business performs here in a way it wouldn’t on a mall-anchored corridor. Transit is strong, with the C at Clinton–Washington, the G at Classon, and the Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center hub a short ride west.

ALSO AVAILABLE
If this one isn’t the fit, it’s still worth a conversation. We have comparable spaces available both larger and smaller, across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. Send over your square footage, budget, and timing and I’ll come back with what matches — or reach out the moment the right space opens up.

AVAILABILITY
Available immediately, delivered vacant. Floor plan, frontage dimensions, ceiling heights, basement access details, and terms on the adjacent 500 SF unit available on request.
