2608 Cherokee

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Unique opportunity to expand or launch your business in this prominent retail location on the coveted 2600 block of Cherokee. This 840-square-foot storefront offers an abundance of space with details like hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and basement storage. Originally designed to be live/work eligible, the storefront also includes a shower in the bathroom, and the rough plumbing for an additional sink as part of a future kitchenette, utility sink, or bad-ass plant watering station for those with a green thumb. The space received a head-to-toe refresh and lighting upgrade in 2023, and the space is move-in ready for its next tenant.

2608 Cherokee is located on the first block west of Jefferson, offering high visibility and commutability in one of the densest neighborhoods in the City of St. Louis – Gravois Park. Experience the best of South City in a growing community; surrounding businesses and amenities generate a ton of foot traffic, and events and festivals keep the street vibrant and active year-round. Within this block alone are a number of shops and restaurants including SoJeff Retro, Mesa Home, Your Friend’s Apartment, November Baby, Apotheosis Comics, Nebula, Saint Louis Hop Shop, Brandin Vaughn Collection, and Teatopia. Walk another few feet to the next block east or west and find more, such as The Fortune Teller Bar, Clements Lock & Security, Bridge Bread Bakery, Elaine’s Sandwiches, Profield Reserve, Ruby Francis, The Whiskey Ring, Infinite Spin Records, and Swade Dispensary, to name a few.

We encourage and give preference to small, independently-owned businesses that cater to a wide range of demographics and will contribute to the eclectic mix of existing small businesses in the area. We don’t rent to predatory businesses such as rent-to-own or payday lending stores that prey upon low-income populations. We discourage the use of first-floor storefronts in commercial corridors for service-oriented or office-type businesses, which are better suited to side streets or second-floor office spaces as they do not benefit from or contribute to an increase in foot traffic that is vital to retail and restaurant businesses. Additionally, in the interest of promoting a peaceful environment for adjacent tenants in our mixed use and multi-tenant buildings, we do not rent commercial spaces to businesses that produce significant odors, chemical or otherwise; this includes but is not limited to nail salons, hair salons, and the manufacturing of any scent-based product (candles, perfumes, etc.). If your business is one of these uses, please join our waitlist for a standalone building.

Price is $1,125/month for rent plus $100/month for water and sewer. Tenant is responsible for trash, internet, and electric charges. The advertised rental rate reflects a $75/mo discount for paying rent via ACH / wire transfer on the first of the month. Metered street parking available on Cherokee and Jefferson.
