Introducing 451 Classon Avenue, a prime corner retail opportunity at the intersection of Classon and Gates Avenues in the heart of Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Offering approximately 1,400 rentable square feet on the ground floor, plus an additional 750 square feet of cellar space, this property provides exceptional flexibility for a wide range of retail and food and beverage concepts.

Featuring approximately 11.5-foot ground-floor ceilings, two storefront entrances, and over 85 linear feet of wraparound frontage, the property offers excellent visibility, prominent branding opportunities, and strong street presence. An interior staircase connects the retail space to the cellar, which also benefits from separate street access, making it particularly attractive for kitchen preparation, storage, inventory, and other back-of-house operations.
