Third Street restaurant building on the market

The Third Street building that was the home of D’Agostino’s is up for lease. Diane Zhang, who owns the building, says she’s talked to a number of potential restaurant tenants. “We haven’t gotten to a final decision who to lease to,” says Zhang, who owns the Café Mediterranean in Southdowns Shopping Center. D’Agostino’s recently closed; owner Sammy D’Agostino died in September. Zhang says she’s looking for someone to take over the 5,300-square-foot restaurant space and an adjoining 1,100 square feet. There had been talk about putting a daiquiri bar there, but those plans fell through. Zhang says she’s talking to other people who want to open a daiquiri bar or a service business, such as a salon. “We’re looking at leasing the whole building, or just the separate parts,” she says.—Timothy Boone
