Turnkey Restaurant with Bonnet Maestro Suite | Downtown Rahway | Across the street to NJ Transit
Property Overview
An exceptional turnkey restaurant opportunity in the core of downtown Rahway's dining and arts district. This ±2,532 SF multi-story building (built 1900) sits one block from the Rahway train station — one of NJ Transit's busiest — on a walkable, pedestrian-oriented block with strong daytime and evening foot traffic. The sale includes a Bonnet Maestro cooking suite, a bespoke French-engineered range trusted in Michelin-caliber kitchens, allowing an operator to bypass a six-figure kitchen build-out and begin service immediately. A dedicated outdoor patio adds al fresco seating and street presence. Zoned CBD-1 within the Central Business District Redevelopment Plan, the property supports full-service, liquor-licensed dining, with generous upper floors suited to private dining, event space, offices, or income-producing apartments.
