Property Sale and/or Restaurant Sale 5517 Menchaca Rd 2,250 SF Retail Building Austin, TX 78745 $2,800,000 ($1,244.44/SF)

THIS IS AN OWNER-OPERATED RESTAURANT — THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND IS NOT A TENANT-RUN OPERATION.
This offering presents a rare opportunity for owner-users or investors to acquire both a thriving restaurant business and the underlying real estate in one of South Austin’s fastest-growing commercial corridors. Strategically positioned in a high-traffic retail zone, the property provides strong income potential with long-term upside through both business performance and real estate appreciation. The property itself is available for purchase as well if there is no interest in purchasing the business, but it is not advisable considering it is profitable.
The restaurant generates an average of $2.0M in gross annual sales, making it an exceptional opportunity for an operator or investor seeking a well-established, income-producing asset. The existing kitchen staff is expected to remain in place, ensuring operational consistency, while the new owner will need to establish their own front-of-house and management team. To ensure a smooth transition, the current owners will remain on-site for one month post-sale to assist with training, transfer proprietary recipes, and provide operational guidance.
Situated on a 0.24-acre lot with 2,250 SF of building space, the site enjoys excellent visibility directly across from Jo’s Coffee, benefiting from consistent foot traffic. It's conveniently located 1.5 miles from South Congress Avenue and under 5 miles from Downtown Austin.
The property is ideal for fast-casual, takeout, or delivery-driven concepts, especially given limited on-site parking. A full renovation in 2018 included a 16-ft vent hood, 1,000-gallon grease trap, and upgraded infrastructure. Rare Vertical Mixed Use zoning designation. The GR-V-NP (Community Commercial – Vertical Mixed Use -Neighborhood Plan Combining District) zoning allows for a maximum building height of 60 feet (approximately 5 stories). It should be noted that the Vertical Mixed Use combining district does not provide additional height beyond what is permitted under the base zoning district. The sale includes the real estate, business, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E)—a truly turnkey opportunity in one of Austin’s most dynamic commercial markets.
