Second Generation Restaurant For Lease

Lease a freestanding restaurant in the heart of North Park San Diego. Approximately 3,000 square feet of recently rebuilt restaurant space sits along the high-traffic El Cajon Boulevard corridor, delivered turnkey with a near-new commercial kitchen, full bar infrastructure, and a character-rich dining room ready for immediate operations.

Move-In-Ready Kitchen

The commercial kitchen was newly installed and remains in near-new condition, ready for full-service programming from day one. Line, prep, walk-in, dishwashing, and support areas are well planned for efficient service across lunch, dinner, and weekend volumes. The back-of-house layout supports a wide range of concepts without major reconfiguration, letting a new operator redirect CapEx toward concept development and launch rather than ground-up build-out.

Full Bar and Historic Dining Room

A hand-carved wood bar anchors an intimate dining room finished with Tudor-style paneling, leaded glass, and warm architectural character. The dining and bar areas offer versatile configurations for fine dining, supper-club programming, or a refined neighborhood concept, with distinctive ambiance that provides instant differentiation for operators launching into a crowded San Diego restaurant market.

North Park San Diego Location

2200 El Cajon Boulevard sits on one of San Diego’s most active restaurant corridors, drawing consistent visibility and drive-by traffic throughout the day and evening. North Park continues to anchor San Diego’s independent restaurant scene and pulls diners from across the metro, and the surrounding block mix of bars, cafes, and dining destinations builds a reliable hospitality crowd for the space.

Ideal Operator Profile

This space will suit chef-owners, restaurant groups, and concept operators seeking a flagship location without the timeline or capital of a ground-up build. Second-generation restaurant tenants who value move-in-ready infrastructure and a story-rich dining room will find the layout and atmosphere ready to carry a new brand immediately. Experienced operators who can translate existing atmosphere into a concept built for North Park’s established dining audience will get the most from the property.

Lease Terms

Base rent is set at $3.50 per square foot triple net, with lease term negotiable for qualified operators. The landlord will deliver the space in current condition, and the tenant will finalize equipment and ABC license arrangements as part of the final lease package. A Type 47 on-sale general liquor license is available for separate purchase, giving qualified operators a direct path to full bar service at opening.
