Turnkey Studio Facility | 3,788 SF Freestanding | 26 Parking Spaces | Sewell, NJ
A rare opportunity to step into a purpose-built studio facility without spending a dollar getting it ready.
160 East Essex Avenue is a freestanding 3,788 SF building commanding a prominent corner lot in Sewell. The building was taken down to the studs in 2021 and completely rebuilt: all new systems, all new finishes, all new infrastructure. In 2025 ownership invested again, installing a brand new white-membrane TPO roof engineered to cut summer cooling loads, and fully reconstructing and restriping the parking lot. The result is a building with the performance and character of new construction and none of the deferred maintenance.
Inside, the facility is already configured and operating as a dance, yoga, and Pilates studio. Three separate studios let you run three classes simultaneously, with the largest sized to accommodate full dance companies, recital rehearsals, and high-capacity group sessions. A dedicated meditation room supports restorative, breathwork, and private programming. Two private offices handle administration, registration, and instructor space. An inviting front entry with a built-in sitting area gives parents and waiting clients a comfortable place to land, which is the detail most converted retail boxes never get right.
Behind the studios, the building is built for how a studio actually operates: two restrooms, a kitchenette, a mop sink, generous dedicated storage, and a covered loading dock with double doors that makes moving flooring, mirrors, staging, props, and seasonal equipment effortless.
Twenty-six freshly paved and striped parking spaces on a 0.60-acre corner site deliver a parking ratio most fitness operators only dream about: nearly seven spaces per 1,000 square feet. That means clean class changeovers and no overflow problem, the single most common complaint of studios stuck in strip centers. Corner positioning on East Essex Avenue gives the building two-street frontage and natural signage visibility in an established, family-dense Gloucester County community.
For a studio owner who has outgrown a leased room, or an established brand expanding into South Jersey, this is the rare second location that doesn't require a construction loan to open the doors. Available as early as December 1.
