Los Angeles Retail for Lease - Downtown Los Angeles
We are pleased to present an exceptional chance to acquire a beautifully designed, fully built-out restaurant and bar located at 111 W. 9th Street in one of Downtown Los Angeles’ most active dining, entertainment, and residential districts. This is a rare opportunity to take over an architecturally distinctive, second-generation restaurant that has already benefited from significant investment in design, infrastructure, and equipment, allowing a new operator to open with minimal downtime.
Located at the intersection of the South Park, Historic Core, Fashion District, and Central Business District, the restaurant enjoys exceptional visibility and benefits from a dense population of residents, office workers, hotel guests, convention visitors, and tourists. The surrounding neighborhood continues to evolve as one of DTLA’s premier lifestyle destinations, home to renowned retailers, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues including Apple, The Hoxton, Whole Foods, Shake Shack, Zinqué, Crypto.com Arena, the Orpheum Theatre, Broadway retail corridor, and many more.
Highlights of the opportunity include:
• Beautiful modern dining room with approximately 32 seats
• Attractive bar area ready for immediate operation
• Valuable ABC Type 41 Beer & Wine License
• Fully equipped commercial kitchen with Type I hood, grease interceptor, prep stations, sinks, refrigeration, and extensive FF&E included
• Ground-floor storefront with dramatic 18-foot ceilings
• Adjacent parking under common ownership
• Immediate occupancy with minimal capital expenditure required
• Flexibility to continue the current concept or introduce virtually any compatible restaurant, café, wine bar, cocktail lounge, bakery, brunch concept, or chef-driven operation, subject to landlord approval.
One of the property’s most compelling advantages is its economics. Opportunities of this quality in Downtown Los Angeles rarely become available with monthly rent of approximately $2,300, creating an unusually favorable occupancy cost for an operator seeking to establish or expand a presence in DTLA. The existing lease extends through June 30, 2027, providing an attractive platform for a buyer while allowing flexibility to discuss future tenancy with ownership.
The surrounding trade area is supported by approximately 500,000 employees and nearly 80,000 residents, with strong household incomes, a highly educated population, and significant daily spending on dining, entertainment, and hospitality. The neighborhood’s exceptional walkability, extensive Metro access, proximity to major hotels, the Convention Center, and numerous entertainment venues create multiple demand generators throughout both daytime and evening hours.
Whether you are an experienced restaurateur, an emerging chef, an established hospitality group, or an investor seeking a highly functional restaurant asset in one of Southern California’s most dynamic urban markets, this offering deserves serious consideration.
Attached is our Offering Memorandum. We'd be pleased to discuss pricing, answer questions, and arrange a confidential private tour. Because the business remains operational, all showings are strictly by appointment and we respectfully request that you do not disturb ownership, management, or staff.
