The luxury fashion brand purchased the property from Swiss investor Jean-Pierre Lehmann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The transaction includes two commercial condominium units totaling 9,909 square feet: a 4,500-square-foot ground-floor space with a 2,144-square-foot basement and a second-floor unit spanning 3,265 square feet. The sale price equates to approximately $13,321 per square foot, with the ground-floor space valued at nearly $29,333 per square foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ralph Lauren has occupied the storefront since 2010 under a lease agreement that was set to expire next year. The acquisition followed a competitive bidding process that also involved LVMH, which intended to relocate Tiffany &amp; Co. from its current space at 97 Greene St.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newmark\u2019s Vice Chair Robert Cohen, Senior Managing Director Peter Whitenack and Co-Head Adam Spies brokered the transaction on behalf of the buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/retails-2025-outlook-a-tale-of-diverging-trends\/\">Retail\u2019s 2025 Outlook: A Tale of Diverging Trends<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Lehmann had acquired the building back in 1991 for $3 million. Originally completed in the 1880s following the designs of Jarvis Morgan Slade, the French Renaissance property was later restored in the 1990s by architecture firm Kapell &amp; Kostow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated at the intersection of Prince and Greene streets in Manhattan\u2019s SoHo neighborhood, the cast-iron building is within walking distance of another luxury <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/rfr-sells-soho-retail-asset-for-46m\/\">retail property, fully occupied by Cartier<\/a>, that changed hands near the end of last year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-manhattan-s-strong-retail-scene\">Manhattan\u2019s strong retail scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manhattan&#8217;s retail scene remains resilient, especially in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/street-retail-surges-toward-full-recovery\/\">high street retail<\/a> sector. According to a recent CBRE report, luxury and leisure tenants were the primary drivers of activity in the borough&#8217;s prime retail areas during the first quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average asking rent in Manhattan&#8217;s retail corridors reached $659 per square foot, down 4 percent year-over-year. Meanwhile, leasing activity\u2014including renewals and new leases\u2014totaled more than 3.5 million square feet in the first quarter, up 14 percent from last year. SoHo stood out as the second most active neighborhood, with 11 deals totaling more than 46,000 square feet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The luxury fashion brand has occupied this building&#8217;s storefront since 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3014,"featured_media":1004756257,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21783,1600,21742,10,21749],"tags":[50999,35754],"class_list":["post-1004756236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-retail","tag-newmark","tag-tiffany-company"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
