New York Retail for Lease - Greenwich Village
149 Avenue A offers an exceptional opportunity in Manhattan’s vibrant East Village neighborhood. This five-story walk-up building combines classic New York character with high-demand positioning in one of the city’s most dynamic residential and retail corridors. Spanning approximately 10,326 square feet, the property sits on a 2,975-square-foot lot with zoning flexibility (R7A), allowing for both multifamily usage and potential retail integration.
The building currently comprises 16 residential units in a highly desirable rental market supported by strong demographic trends, consistent demand from young professionals, and proximity to NYC institutions. Positioned along Avenue A between East 9th and East 10th Streets, the property benefits from significant foot traffic and visibility in an established community celebrated for its eclectic dining, boutique retail, and cultural venues.
Immediate transportation connectivity includes the L, 4, 5, 6, N, Q, R subway lines via nearby Union Square and 1st Avenue stations. The East Village submarket remains one of Manhattan’s strongest performers, offering investors long-term appreciation with value-add potential through renovations, repositioning, or a mixed-use strategy.
