The operation
Three floors, one building, already in use
Ground floor
The café
The café holds the main ground-floor storefront at 231 and draws people into the building every day. It transfers as an operating setup: the space, the fit-out and the operating assets listed in the final schedule. The Awakening name, trademark and signature recipes stay with the seller, so the café reopens under your own concept and brand.
Awakening signage visible in photos identifies the current operation only. It is not part of the sale.
Second floor
xTribe coworking and studios
xTribe runs on the second floor: coworking with memberships and day passes, plus podcast and creative studios. Its East Wing, about 2,100 square feet of podcast studios, private offices and conference rooms, is part of xTribe today.
The xTribe business and brand are included. Because the East Wing is already part of xTribe, we don’t present it as extra rental income on top of xTribe’s own revenue.
Third floor
A finished, vacant floor
The whole third floor is 2,450 square feet with its own secure entrance off the stairwell. It has private changing rooms, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower and a dedicated storage room. It’s vacant now, so the next owner decides what it becomes.
Rent in the building
Current tenant rent, and a separate vacant-floor opportunity
Two figures are worth knowing up front. The first is rent paid today by the storefront tenants. The second is the asking rent for the empty third floor, which only exists if someone leases it. We keep them separate on purpose.
Paid by the two ground-floor storefront tenants. Approximate figure reported by the owner and not yet independently verified. Lease terms, the rent split and transferability will be provided for review in diligence.
Owner-reported asking rent for a floor that is vacant today. Leased for a full year, it would bring in up to $36,000 gross. That figure is hypothetical and comes before utilities, improvements, commissions, free rent and vacancy.
Leasing the third floor and running it as yTribe are alternative uses of the same space. They can’t both happen, so their potential income should never be added together. Any use of the floor (offices, fitness, wellness or otherwise) requires the buyer to verify permitted use, occupancy and access. More on the opportunity
Café and xTribe operating figures
Detailed operating information is available to qualified buyers. We share it after an initial conversation and a confidentiality agreement, not on this public site.
Buyer fit
Who this suits, and what running it takes
This is a whole-building commitment: one buyer takes on the café, xTribe and the lease obligations together. The current structure doesn’t allow a café-only purchase.
Hospitality operators
Experienced café or restaurant operators ready to launch their own concept in an established location with a built-in daytime community upstairs.
Entrepreneurial buyers
Buyers with working capital and real management capability who want a multi-part operating business rather than a single storefront.
Coworking and creative-space operators
Operators who can run xTribe and its studios, and who bring or partner with a café operator for the ground floor.
What the new owner takes on
- Running the café under a new brand: staff, menu, suppliers and the rebrand itself.
- Managing xTribe memberships, day passes and studio bookings.
- Master-lease obligations, the storefront tenant relationships and the vacant third floor.
This is an operating business that needs hands-on management. It is not a passive investment. The sellers plan a full exit after a short, defined handover period. There is no ongoing franchise, royalty or management arrangement.
