The unit benefits from a 900-square-foot basement, accessed via an internal stairwell and ideal for back-of-house storage, prep area, or operational support. Both floors are connected through multiple access points and are built to accommodate high-volume infrastructure, including HVAC ductwork, venting, and reinforced mechanicals. This configuration makes it a prime candidate for food and beverage operations, fitness studios, boutique showrooms, or gallery concepts. The ceiling height and column spacing allow for dramatic design options, while the floorplan naturally supports three separate commercial tenants or a single branded identity with distinct programmatic zones.
Located on a tree-lined stretch of Lexington Avenue, the property is surrounded by high-rise residential buildings, medical institutions, and growing foot traffic from students, commuters, and neighborhood residents. Delivered vacant and with flexible zoning, this asset is positioned for rapid customization and activation. With the previous asking price reduced to $2,195,000, the offering combines long-term upside with immediate usability, making it a compelling acquisition for owner-users or investors looking to secure an adaptable footprint in one of Manhattan’s most accessible mixed-use enclaves.
