Located in Lincoln Square, this 840-square-foot commercial space presents a unique opportunity for a small business, professional office, boutique retailer, service provider, or entrepreneurial concept seeking a high-quality, fully built-out space without the time and expense associated with a major renovation or new construction build-out.
