Property Description
A chef's opportunity of a lifetime awaits in one of Philadelphia's premiere restaurant locations. Take your business to the next level and claim a seat in Philadelphia's Restaurant Hall of Fame in the sprawling, hallowed, restaurant space of the former Deux Cheminees, at 1221 and 1223 Locust Street.The lease includes a LIQUOR LICENSE, four dining rooms and up to 125 seats in a revered location, tables, chairs, and some china & glassware. Build your dream kitchen! What's required is a visionary restauranteur whose personal touch and culinary acumen will begin a new chapter in the annals of restaurant history.
The main dining floor, of 3600 square feet, features incredible architectural detail from another era in the walnut wainscoting, stained and leaded glass, Mercer tile, fireplaces in every room, and crystal chandeliers. Formerly The Princeton Club, the new renovation will feature 3 separate entrances, including a new lobby that can only be described as a dramatic experience, through the former squash courts of the Princeton Club via glass elevator. An exhaustive and costly historic restoration and renovation will be accompanied by seamless modern systems and conveniences unlike any other restaurant in Philadelphia. Restaurateurs are encouraged to participate in the design process at every turn---historic certification offers great opportunities and very few limitations in the restaurant context.
Located in the fastest growing part of Center City, near the City’s most important recent development---Symphony House, Tony Goldman’s “Midtown Village” on 13th Street, and the revitalized Western Union Building condominiums at 12th & Locust. The well-heeled denizens of these buildings will make this their regular weeknight haunt. Just two blocks from Broad Street's Avenue of the Arts, arts patrons will beat a path to your door before and after the shows. The tenants of the commercial office-space-to-be on the upper floors create built-in crowds for lunch, happy hour, and early dinner. This complementary relationship between the first floor restaurant tenant and office space above exists as well for special events, conferences, and catering.
With amazing architecture, a tradition of excellence, and neighbors anxious to support a new empire, the City will come to you at this location.
