5960 NE 2nd Avenue is a fully renovated and stabilized commercial kitchen asset located along the rapidly strengthening NE 2nd Avenue corridor linking the Design District, Little River, and the MiMo District. Purpose-built for modern food production, the property oers durable income, institutional tenancy, and exceptionally low operational involvement—ideal for investors seeking stable cash flow in Miami’s urban core. The +-5,000 SF building was renovated between 2023 - 2025, and contains five autonomous ±1,000 SF kitchen suites, each engineered for efficiency, durability, and high-volume throughput. Every suite is equipped with a 16-foot hood, an 8'×10' walk-in cooler/freezer, a 54" reach-in cooler/freezer, independent electrical and gas service, and commercial-grade prep and utility infrastructure.

All leases are structured as NNN with mandatory maintenance contracts on critical systems—hood, HVAC, fire suppression, walk-ins, and grease infrastructure—resulting in minimal landlord responsibility.
