Situated in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn, 85 Livingston Street presents a rare sublease opportunity featuring 2,721 RSF of ground-floor retail with a compact, efficient footprint designed for today's strongest retail, service, and wellness concepts.
The ground-floor space includes a 1,595 RSF gym studio, creating a natural synergy for beauty, cosmetic, personal care, wellness, and grooming operators. Positioned directly adjacent to a fitness use, the space benefits from a built-in base of health-conscious consumers and consistent daily foot traffic.
In addition to the retail component, two private office suites are currently available within the building: a 630 RSF suite and a 496 RSF suite. Both offer turnkey opportunities for professional, medical, wellness, or service-oriented tenants seeking a polished Downtown Brooklyn presence.
Small-format ground-floor retail in dense urban corridors continues to outperform, and this space is a strong example of why. Lower total occupancy cost, strong walk-by traffic, and a focused, manageable layout make it ideal for operators who prioritize customer experience, visibility, and efficiency over excess square footage
.
The space is especially well-suited for beauty, skincare, cosmetics, wellness, medical, professional services, and specialty retail. Co-tenancy in the immediate corridor is exceptional, with Sephora, Sweetgreen, Rumble, Paris Baguette, and Barnes & Noble all nearby, helping drive consistent and diverse foot traffic throughout the day.
Transit access is excellent, with Borough Hall/Court Street servicing the 2, 3, 4, 5, N, and R trains, and Jay Street-MetroTech servicing the A, C, F, and G trains within a short walking distance, connecting the location to Downtown Brooklyn, Manhattan, and the broader borough.
