Overview

The property includes approximately 1,961 square feet of shell-condition building space positioned on a triangular 12,509 square foot lot. It is offered for sale as a restaurant-ready development site, with the improvements currently in shell condition, allowing an operator or buyer to tailor buildout to their specific concept.

The location is on historic Esplanade Avenue in the heart of the Esplanade Ridge. The property is zoned HU-B1 (Historic Urban Neighborhood Business District), a designation that explicitly permits full-service restaurant and food & beverage uses by right.

For a chef-driven neighborhood operator, this zoning framework supports a range of full-service food and beverage concepts without requiring use-specific approvals. The combination of shell-condition interior space and by-right restaurant permissions makes the site suitable for a new cafe, bistro, oyster bar, or neighborhood restaurant buildout, depending on the buyer’s plan for layout and final improvements.
