Key Features:
Prime Theater District / Times Square Location:
- Situated on Broadway, one of the world’s most famous thoroughfares, in the heart of the Theater District — the epicenter of New York City’s entertainment industry, home to dozens of Broadway theaters, iconic restaurants, and world-famous attractions.
- Located between West 48th Street and West 49th Street — just steps from Times Square (42nd-47th Streets), Rockefeller Center (49th-50th Streets), and Radio City Music Hall.
- Minutes from Bryant Park (40th-42nd Streets between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), the New York Public Library, Grand Central Terminal, and Fifth Avenue’s luxury shopping corridor.
- Surrounded by a dynamic mix of Broadway theaters, flagship retail stores, world-class hotels, acclaimed restaurants, tourist attractions, and corporate headquarters.
Massive Foot Traffic – One of the Busiest Locations in the World:
- Times Square attracts over 50 million visitors annually — making it one of the most heavily trafficked pedestrian locations on the planet.
- The Theater District generates consistent, high-volume foot traffic throughout the day and night, with spikes before and after Broadway shows (matinee and evening performances), on weekends, and during holiday seasons.
- This location offers unparalleled exposure to tourists, theatergoers, office workers, hotel guests, and locals — a diverse, high-spending customer base.
Expansive & Flexible Retail Layout:
- 3,633 SF of generous retail space — large enough for a full-service restaurant, experiential retail concept, fitness center, or entertainment venue.
- Attractive storefront with exceptional street-level visibility on Broadway, one of the world’s most photographed and heavily trafficked pedestrian corridors.
- High ceilings and open floor plan with minimal columns, allowing for easy customization to fit various business needs — from dining room layouts and stage setups to retail displays and fitness equipment.
- Large windows providing abundant natural light and prime window display opportunities facing Broadway’s constant flow of pedestrians.
- Potential for back-of-house space, kitchen, storage, office areas, or basement expansion depending on configuration.
