High-end Hudson County Restaurant
Weehawken Township, NJ
CONFIDENTIAL RESTAURANT ASSET SALE
4,978 SF Turnkey Brasserie | Hudson River Gold Coast Corridor
$1.7M Buildout | $800K Liquor License Embedded | 13-Year Lease
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully built, design-forward French brasserie located within one of Northern New Jersey’s most affluent Hudson River residential districts.
Opened just two years ago, the restaurant features a sophisticated yet comfortable dining environment with high ceilings, expansive windows, an open kitchen, and a striking 20-seat marble bar anchoring the space. The layout includes 105 indoor seats, a private dining room, ancillary lounge area, and an additional 70 seasonal outdoor seats.
The current ownership invested over $1.7 million into a high-end buildout, including a state-of-the-art commercial kitchen, premium finishes, and top-tier bar infrastructure. Storage access directly behind the kitchen within the building’s garage area provides rare operational convenience.
The lease includes access to a liquor license valued at approximately $800,000, with the cost embedded in the base rent of $50/SF. The lease is assignable (subject to landlord approval) with 13 years remaining and a 5-year option.
At approximately $2.2 million in annual revenue, the restaurant operates as a dinner-focused concept with strong weekend brunch performance. The current owner/chef remains active on-site. Ownership has elected to shift focus to another concept, creating a rare opportunity for a qualified operator to step into a fully constructed hospitality platform.
With nearly $2.5 million in deployed infrastructure and long-term lease control, this offering represents a compelling alternative to ground-up development — eliminating permitting risk, liquor license acquisition, and 9–12 months of construction timeline.
Strategic Opportunity
The surrounding neighborhood consists of luxury condominium residents, high-income professionals, and a large NYC commuter base via nearby NY Waterways ferry access. The area has demonstrated strong demand for high-end dining, and the demographics support cuisine concepts that appeal to an affluent, globally minded audience.
The layout and kitchen infrastructure are well-suited for repositioning toward upscale Asian, Korean, Japanese, or other chef-driven concepts seeking entry into a dense, high-income waterfront corridor serving a significant upscale white-collar workforce demographic.
