This commercial unit is suitable for a restaurant, café, minimarket or marketplace. Plumbing, wiring and tiling are in place for the installation of a professional kitchen, as well as a bar area. The open front balcony overlooks the street art and playground in the park.
The terrace at the front overlooks Parke Leyba, the central park of Scharloo Abao, with its street art and playground. On entering the building, a central patio connects to a bar and restaurant space to the west, with room for 6 to 8 tables. This room has its own exit onto the wide sidewalk, which offers space for several tables. For special events, permission may be granted to use the park as a public venue.
To the east of the central patio is the main kitchen area, a modern annex with tiled walls and the basic infrastructure for a professional kitchen. Next to it is a smaller tiled room with its own service entrance. Three restrooms are available for guests and staff. If additional office space is needed, a studio apartment is available in the building next to the bar area, with its own staff bathroom and kitchenette. This unit, Bargestraat 28-C, can optionally also be rented.
The unit has a floor area of 140 m² and is part of a larger complex with five residential units on the Bargestraat side. It is situated on the corner of Boldinghstraat and Van Raderstraat, opposite Francis Sling’s Art Gallery and the barber Bar.Ber. More businesses and residents are finding their way to Scharloo Abao, drawn by its central location and colourful, cosy atmosphere. With The Wharf project around the corner, an influx of residents and commercial opportunities is expected in the coming years.
Fleur de Marie is a vibrant neighbourhood just north of the park, with more than 80 households. Over the last ten years, the area has seen major improvements to its infrastructure and facilities.
