It sits in a dense residential walking trade zone, immediately proximate to major anchors including Lehigh University, St. Luke’s Hospital, and the Wind Creek Casino district. This established micro-commercial block features a vibrant mix of neighborhood markets and services, offering a rare retail footprint within an architectural residential corridor.This 1,300 SF storefront offers a unique opportunity through its legal pre-existing nonconforming retail use, providing a 'grandfathered' commercial presence. The space is offered as a Modified Gross Lease, providing predictable overhead for the tenant as the rent includes water and sewer. The suite features turn-key infrastructure, including a prep area and checkout counters, which significantly lowers the barrier to entry for a new operator.
