Turnkey Cafe & Fresh Market Opportunity
Property Description
A rare, ?rst-mover opportunity to lease a ?nished, ground ?oor café and fresh
market space at 2233 N 7th Street, Philadelphia, PA — situated on the ground ?oor
of The Washington, a 72-unit residential apartment building. This space was
intentionally designed to serve both as a café and a fresh market concept, meeting
the daily food and beverage needs of building residents and the surrounding
neighborhood. There is currently no similar use in the immediate area, making this a
true void-?lling opportunity with minimal direct competition.
SPACE OVERVIEW
2,660 square feet of fully built-out commercial space. Owner is seeking a $65,000 investment
transfer to cover the work already completed and delivered, including installed light
?xtures throughout, ?nished ADA-compliant bathrooms, a fully built-out kitchen,
cabinetry, countertops, and wall paneling. This is a ?nished, functional space — not
a raw shell.
CUSTOMER BASE
Three distinct, overlapping demand drivers are already in place:
• 72 residential units on-site at The Washington — immediate captive audience
• A soon-to-open daycare center next door accommodating 60+ children plus
staff and parents during daily drop-off and pick-up
• Surrounding neighborhood residents currently underserved — no comparable
café or fresh market exists in the area
LEASE TERMS
Asking rate of $16.50/SF/year (~$3,750/month base) in year 1 with rents stepping up in Year 2 and 3 giving the right operator runway to ramp up before reaching stabilized lease terms. A
standard commercial lease is required to operate.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT
• Ground ?oor location within a 72-unit residential building
• Adjacent daycare center adds consistent daily foot traf?c
• No competing café or fresh market in the immediate neighborhood
• Designed for dual café + fresh market use — ?exible concept potential
• Finished buildout: ADA bathrooms, kitchen, cabinets, counters, wall paneling,
lighting
• Favorable Year 1 rent structure with a clear step-up schedule
IDEAL FOR
Café operators, coffee concepts, fresh/grab-and-go food concepts, smoothie shop, frozen yogurt, or a full kitchen operation. For entrepreneur operators looking for a built-in customer base, a ?nished space, and a genuine ?rst-mover advantage in a growing North Philadelphia neighborhood.
Serious inquiries only. Lease required to operate. Contact for tours and full terms.
