About 1442 South Ave
Rare opportunity to acquire a strategically positioned freestanding commercial building in the heart of Plainfield's rapidly transforming South Avenue redevelopment corridor near the Plainfield/Fanwood border. This high-visibility location benefits from strong daily traffic counts and is surrounded by completed, under-construction, and approved residential and mixed-use projects along South Ave generating sustained demand for neighborhood services and dining destinations. The property features approximately 1,680 SF of flexible commercial space with rare on-site parking for approximately 20-30 vehicles, and a capacity to host 134 guests. This building was gut renovated in 2014 with stucco exterior and is in good condition. It has a main dining room with the kitchen and 2 lavatories on the first level and a separate meeting/event space on the second level with one lavatory. It also has a front patio with seasonal dining setup. Off street parking is a significant competitive advantage along this corridor. Zoned Neighborhood Commercial (NC) within a designated non-condemnation redevelopment area governed by the South Avenue Corridor Redevelopment Plan (MC 2024-03), the site supports a broad range of permitted uses including restaurant, retail, professional office, service, and other neighborhood-serving commercial applications. Ideal opportunity for owner-operators, investors, or entrepreneurs seeking a prominent location within a growing, transit-oriented corridor.
