291 Seventh Avenue — Prime Ground-Floor Retail in the Heart of Chelsea
Dover Property Group is pleased to present a rare opportunity to lease 1,700 square feet of ground-floor retail at 291 Seventh Avenue, positioned on the east block between West 26th and West 27th Streets in one of Chelsea's busiest commercial corridors. The space offers 17 feet of prime frontage along Seventh Avenue, 12-foot ceilings, and an existing food-and-beverage build-out—including a service line, dining area, and full back-of-house kitchen—making it an ideal turnkey opportunity for restaurant, quick-service, or specialty food operators. The unit is fully vented with gas already in place, significantly reducing buildout time and cost for incoming tenants.
The location benefits from exceptional foot traffic and a built-in customer base, sitting directly across from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and its 8,300-plus students and faculty. The surrounding trade area is anchored by a dense mix of national and local retailers, including Blink Fitness, Blank Street Coffee, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and The Triple Crown Alehouse, with Madison Square Garden and Penn Station just a few blocks north. This stretch of Seventh Avenue draws a steady flow of commuters, students, residents, and visitors throughout the day and into the evening.
Transportation access is outstanding, with the 1, R, and W subway lines just steps from the door and quick connections to Penn Station and Herald Square. Possession can be arranged to suit the tenant's timeline, and asking rent is available upon request. This is a compelling opportunity to secure a well-located, food-ready space in a high-visibility Chelsea location with proven demand.
