Glendale Retail for Lease
Position your concept within one of Glendale’s most recognizable restaurant addresses, a freestanding, high visibility commercial building steeped in local dining history along prestigious Brand Boulevard.
Located moments from The Americana at Brand and the Downtown Brand corridor, the approximately 2,700 square foot space offers exceptional frontage, strong daily traffic counts, and immediate exposure to both daytime office activity and evening destination dining.
Originally home to the beloved Gennaro’s Ristorante, an upscale Northern Italian landmark that operated for over three decades beginning in 1984, the property carries a rare legacy within the community. Known for its old world elegance, formal atmosphere, and live piano evenings, the restaurant earned the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award for more than 10 consecutive years and became synonymous with celebratory dining in Glendale.
The existing layout is currently built for food and beverage use and includes commercial kitchen infrastructure, bar area, dining room, and rear service access, offering an ideal foundation for a restaurant, café, wine bar, lounge, or experiential retail concept. Dramatic ceiling detailing, expansive street facing windows, and a prominent storefront presence provide exceptional branding and signage visibility along Brand Boulevard.
Surrounded by dense residential neighborhoods, established retailers, hospitality, and continuous pedestrian flow, the location benefits from both built in neighborhood familiarity and regional destination appeal.
A rare opportunity to either reintroduce a celebrated dining destination or establish a new flagship concept within a historically significant Glendale address.
