Located at 515-517 Newark Avenue in the heart of Jersey City, this retail space offers an incredible opportunity for a tenant looking to capitalize on high foot traffic, major development, and a prime commercial corridor. The space sits directly across from William L. Dickinson High School, drawing consistent daily traffic from students, staff, and families. Just down the block, the Frank J. Guarini Justice Complex, a $345 million courthouse project with an 11-story facility, is nearing completion — a major civic hub expected to bring in thousands of daily visitors once open.
Newark Avenue is one of Jersey City’s most active streets, serving as a key connector between Journal Square and the downtown core. The property benefits from both heavy pedestrian movement and strong vehicular traffic, with the surrounding area seeing significant investment in housing and infrastructure. Local businesses thrive here due to the steady demand for grab-and-go food, retail, and services from the surrounding residential population, courthouse traffic, and student community.
The space itself is approximately 1,100 square feet and was previously occupied by a boutique furniture and shade store. It’s been updated with $20,000–$30,000 in recent improvements, making it an ideal turnkey option for tenants looking to minimize upfront costs. The layout is open and easily adaptable for a range of uses — from food service and coffee shops to retail, beauty, or boutique fitness.
Public transportation is easily accessible, with PATH stations and major bus routes nearby. This location is also surrounded by a wide range of successful retailers and growing developments, increasing the area's long-term upside. Whether you’re a growing brand or an established local operator, this site offers both immediate exposure and long-term value in one of Jersey City’s most active corridors.
