Welcome to The Black Rock Freight House—a one-story brick building located at 68 Tonawanda Street in Buffalo’s vibrant Black Rock neighborhood. Originally built in 1901 as a New York Central rail station along the belt line, this historic landmark underwent an impressive conversion in 2020. Today, it proudly hosts 35 residential units and one commercial space, now available for lease.
The available 3044 square foot space is an ideal canvas for a brewery, restaurant, or creative office. The space has an industrial feel with historic charm, featuring high ceilings, polished concrete floors, oversized windows, and exposed brick. The layout offers an excellent flow, highlighted by a unique custom-built bar adjacent to the spacious patio. Formerly home to Hatchets and Hops, the space has a row of “cages” that could be repurposed, modified, or removed.
Equipped for immediate occupancy with two ADA-compliant restrooms, a mop closet, and mechanical room. There is a small kitchen area with a service window, grease trap, 3-bay sink, hand wash sink, open drain, 220 for stove, and potential to add a hood. There is an additional storage room located off the bar. Climate control is ensured with a 4-year-old rooftop unit (RTU). The rental rate includes designated parking for 11 cars, and there’s the opportunity for building signage with excellent visibility.
