Executive Summary
50 Lafayette Avenue, Suffern, NY 10901
Rand Commercial is pleased to present the exclusive sale of 50 Lafayette Avenue, a freestanding brick commercial building prominently located in the heart of downtown Suffern, New York. The property is delivered fully vacant and offers an outstanding opportunity for an owner-user, restaurateur, investor, or developer seeking a well-positioned asset in one of Rockland County's most active downtown markets.
The building was most recently operated as Lavagna Wine Bar & Italian Eatery and features a thoughtfully renovated interior including a full bar with marble countertops, subway tile finishes, pendant lighting, and a commercial kitchen. A full basement houses walk-in freezers, walk-in refrigerators, and stainless steel prep stations — significant installed capital for any incoming food & beverage operator.
The property sits on 0.41 acres with 14,000+/- SF of asphalt paving providing 24+/- on-site parking spaces — an exceptional and rare amenity for a downtown location. CB (Central Business) zoning supports a wide range of commercial uses including restaurants, retail, offices, theaters, and more.
The site presents compelling development upside. Architectural plans (NOT APPROVED) prepared by Aufgang Architects envision the addition of a new two-story mixed-use building on the underutilized portion of the lot, with concepts including up to approximately 7,863 SF of new construction featuring ground-floor retail and second-floor office space — all while retaining the existing brick building and on-site parking. An alternative concept shows the addition of two new retail/restaurant units totaling approximately 4,310 SF fronting Lafayette Avenue. Prospective purchasers are encouraged to conduct their own zoning and feasibility review.
