Philadelphia Retail for Lease - Northeast Philadelphia
611-619 N 2nd Street is a masonry commercial building on one of Northern Liberties' most heavily trafficked retail corridors, minutes from The Piazza, Liberties Walk, and the neighborhood's dense mix of destination restaurants, breweries, and retail. The property offers a rare combination for this corridor: 76 feet of frontage on N 2nd Street with a private curb cut and rear loading access, plus oversized glass garage doors that open the storefront for true indoor-outdoor flexibility.
The layout offers built-in separation for multiple uses. A large main-floor showroom sits at the front of the building behind the glass garage door frontage, divided from the rear of the space by the building's original firehouse door. The back room is currently operated as a fully operational machine shop with its own roll-up door and rear loading access - available to include in the lease for a light-industrial user, or easily reconfigured as a kitchen/prep area for a restaurant tenant. A secured, paved outdoor yard opens off the rear of the Assembly Area and adjoins the on-site parking area - usable for vehicle storage/display, private outdoor seating, or general storage. An additional back office, separate from the front of the building, rounds out the suite.
Formerly a firehouse, the building retains cement floors with high-capacity water drainage, well suited to auto, fabrication, or wash-down uses. The property carries an active PA auto dealer license and manufacturing license at this address, both currently in place, eliminating typical licensing lead time for a qualifying auto or light-industrial user.
Zoned CMX-2.5, the building accommodates retail, restaurant/bar, fitness/gym, showroom, and light-industrial/flex uses. Suite 611 (±5,000 SF) offers a full build-out in average condition with air conditioning, central heat, 3 bathrooms (1 front, 2 rear), and a basement with separate outside access for storage/systems. Suite 619 (750 SF), currently operated as a barbershop with its own private outdoor patio, is available separately or combined with Suite 611 for up to 5,750 SF contiguous.
On-site parking includes 10 spaces accessed via Hamilton St, currently leased separately at $225/month each (~$2,250/mo total income) - income can be included in or excluded from the lease. Located within the Northern Liberties Business Improvement District, with easy access to I-95 and SEPTA.
