106 West 117th Street offers a compelling opportunity for community-focused, wellness, educational, or mission-driven operators to establish a presence at one of Central Harlem’s most active and recognizable intersections. Located at the corner of Lenox Avenue and West 117th Street, this approximately 1,200 square foot community facility space sits directly within the vibrant 116th Street corridor, surrounded by trusted neighborhood anchors and daily foot traffic. The space was formerly occupied by Gigi’s Playhouse and is well configured for operators seeking an open, adaptable layout that can support programming, classes, services, or gatherings. The corner positioning provides natural visibility and ease of access, while the surrounding block benefits from strong institutional and retail adjacency—including Bank of America next door and Carver Federal Savings Bank directly across the street—reinforcing the area’s role as a long-standing commercial and civic hub. Just steps from the 116th Street 2/3 subway station, the property offers seamless connectivity for staff, clients, and participants traveling from across Manhattan and the Bronx. The immediate neighborhood features a mix of well-known restaurants, wellness studios, and service providers such as Amy Ruth’s and Harlem Pilates, creating a built-in audience and consistent daily activity. Central Harlem continues to experience sustained growth, investment, and demand for quality community-serving spaces. This location is ideal for operators looking to plant roots, grow programming, and become part of a thriving ecosystem where culture, commerce, and community intersect.
