Positioned at the northeast corner of 42nd Street and Second Avenue, this premier retail opportunity occupies a highly visible corner in the heart of Midtown East. The space includes a 3,193 square foot ground floor with an additional 1,364 square feet of basement, offering ample room for operations, storage, or back-of-house functions. The layout delivers maximum exposure with 120 feet of wraparound frontage along two of Manhattan’s busiest corridors, ensuring consistent pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout the day. With 16-foot ceiling heights and broad, unobstructed floor plates, the space invites flexible design for a wide range of retail uses—from flagship dining concepts to wellness, convenience, or experiential brands.

The interior is currently raw, offering a clean slate with generous ceiling height, column-free zones, and direct stair access to the basement level. The footprint is rectangular and highly efficient, with entrance doors facing both 42nd Street and Second Avenue, creating multiple points of customer engagement. The basement level is already demised, and its adjacency to the stairwell makes it ideal for prep kitchens, walk-in refrigeration, or general storage to support high-volume operations. The layout benefits further from superior visibility on a signalized corner, with excellent signage potential that captures traffic flowing both north-south and east-west through this prominent Midtown intersection.

Surrounding the property is a dense mix of residential towers, consulates, international organizations, and office buildings, including the nearby United Nations complex. Over 1,500 new apartments are expected to be delivered in the immediate vicinity as part of the redevelopment of the former Pfizer headquarters, adding further residential density to an already thriving area. Neighboring retail tenants include Dunkin’, Solidcore, Chase, Club Pilates, and Patsy’s Pizza, reinforcing the appeal to a broad range of customer demographics. Cooking is permitted, and immediate possession is available, making this a rare turnkey opportunity in a vibrant and transit-rich corridor just minutes from Grand Central Terminal.
