Key Features:

Prime Carnegie Hill / Park Avenue Location:

• Situated on Park Avenue in Carnegie Hill — one of the Upper East Side’s most prestigious and sought-after neighborhoods, known for its elegant pre-war buildings, manicured medians, and quiet, tree-lined streets.
• Located between East 85th Street and East 86th Street, in the heart of Carnegie Hill’s residential and commercial corridor.
• Just steps from Central Park (entrance at 85th Street and Fifth Avenue), the Conservatory Garden, and the Engineers’ Gate — attracting daily foot traffic from residents, joggers, dog walkers, and families.
• Minutes from Museum Mile, home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), Guggenheim Museum, Neue Galerie, Jewish Museum, and Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
• Surrounded by some of New York City’s most prestigious private schools, including The Spence School, Brearley, Dalton, and Chapin.
• Short walk to Madison Avenue luxury shopping, Lexington Avenue everyday conveniences, and the 86th Street retail corridor (home to Fairway, Target, and a multiplex cinema).

Practical & Affordable Retail Layout:

• 940 SF of well-proportioned retail space — perfectly sized for a professional office, salon, boutique, or service-based business.
• Attractive storefront with good street-level visibility on Park Avenue, one of Manhattan’s most prestigious residential thoroughfares.
• Functional floor plan suitable for a reception area, private offices or treatment rooms, a break room, and storage.
• Large windows providing abundant natural light — a valuable feature for medical or therapy practices.
• At $8.51 per square foot, this represents exceptional value for retail space on Park Avenue in Carnegie Hill — significantly below the neighborhood average.

Excellent Transit Access:

• Moments from the 86th Street subway station (4, 5, 6) on Lexington Avenue, providing direct access to the entire East Side of Manhattan and Grand Central Terminal.
• Close to the 86th Street station (Q) on Second Avenue and the 96th Street station (Q) .

• High daytime foot traffic from residents running errands, private school parents, nannies with children, and dog walkers.
