Leading retail brokers help iconic fashion footwear retailer relocate and expand, within its long-established UES neighborhood at 1277 Third Avenue
Gregory Tannor, Executive Vice President/Principal, and Corey Horowitz, Executive Managing Director/Principal of Lee & Associates NYC LLC have arranged a long-term lease for The Shoe Box, at 1277 Third Avenue, between East 73rd and East 74th Streets. An Upper East Side fashion staple for more than two decades, the family-owned designer footwear retailer signed a 15-year lease, with five-year option, for a 3,600-square-foot, double-level space, formerly occupied by a Scoop NYC Men’s Store. Move-in is anticipated within the next month.
“It was important for us to help a revered retailer remain in its neighborhood,” says Mr. Tannor, who spearheads the KT Group at Lee NYC. “We saw an opportunity for a welcome expansion only a few blocks from their other store, and we ran with it!”
Adds Mr. Horowitz, “This is a retail family that knows how to position their brand and stay current, which is why The Shoe Box continues to thrive in brick and mortar and e-commerce. The move will be a quick turnaround, so none of their loyal customers will have to miss the newest styles.”
Neighboring stores include Gracious Home, Olivia & Bette’s, Shynn and Men’s Wearhouse, among others. Messrs. Tannor and Horowitz represented the tenant. The landlord, Peter Franco, was represented by Glasser Realty LLC. Asking rent was $186 per square foot.
