685 3rd Avenue presents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly functional vacant commercial property in Brooklyn’s
Greenwood Heights neighborhood. The property consists of a 4,800-square-foot commercial building
situated on a 10,034-square-foot parcel, including a 5,234-square-foot secured outdoor lot and over
100 feet of frontage along 3rd Avenue. This combination of functional commercial space, substantial
outdoor area, and prominent frontage is increasingly difficult to find throughout Brooklyn.
The property’s M1-2D zoning, combined with its significant outdoor component, positions it to appeal to a
broad range of purchasers, including owner-users, contractors, logistics companies, storage operators,
automotive users, and private investors seeking well-located commercial assets.
The property offers excellent transportation access, with the Prospect Avenue R station approximately a
5-minute walk away, the 25th Street R station approximately a 6-minute walk away, and the 4th Avenue–
9th Street F/G/R station approximately a 12-minute walk away. The property also provides immediate
access to the BQE, Gowanus Expressway, and Prospect Expressway, while remaining minutes from
Industry City, Sunset Park, Gowanus, and Downtown Brooklyn.
With its large secured outdoor area, extensive 3rd Avenue frontage, flexible zoning, and exceptional
accessibility, 685 3rd Avenue represents a compelling acquisition opportunity for both investors and
owner-users in one of Brooklyn’s most established commercial and industrial corridors.
