Steven E. Baker and Aaron S. Fishbein
Winick Realty Group President Steven E. Baker and Director Aaron S. Fishbein proudly announced the completion of six Manhattan lease transactions on behalf of TF Cornerstone. Baker and Fishbein exclusively represented the landlord in each of the transactions.
- Union Square: Pressed Juicery leased 825 square feet at 7 East 14th Street, where the company is expected to open their seventh New York City location in Q4 2016. Baker and Fishbein previously leased space in the building to Le Café Coffee and Ricky’s, adding that Pressed Juicery is “a great company and a great use for the neighborhood.” Pressed Juicery was represented by Julian Hitchcock of The F&B Group.
- Chelsea: Bank of America leased 3,500 square feet on the Northwest Corner of West 25th Street at 270 Seventh Avenue. Formerly a portion of BuyBuy Baby, TF Cornerstone created a “beautiful corner with 18-foot ceilings that has brought more value to their incredible asset,” said Baker and Fishbein. Bank of America, who was represented by David LaPierre and Stephen Sjurset of CBRE, joins TD Bank, BuyBuy Baby and Chelsea Pediatric Dentistry at the base of TF Cornerstone’s 18-story Chelsea Centro luxury residential building.
Gramercy: Two retailers signed leases at 310 East 23rd Street, where Baker and Fishbein had previously leased space to Massage Envy. Midtown Barber Shop, represented by Omar Javied of City Realty Services, took 393 square feet and CKO Kickboxing took 2,114 square feet. Represented by Hector Urizar of Coldwell Banker, CKO Kickboxing is currently building out the location, which will be their second in New York City. “There are not many fitness concepts currently in the immediate area,” said Baker and Fishbein, “so we are happy to bring this great amenity to the students, young professionals and families in the neighborhood.”
Greenwich Village: Russell Cellular, a Verizon Authorized Retailer, signed a lease at 71 University Place. The 1,034-square-foot space was available for the first time in more than 15 years, giving Russell Cellular a rare opportunity to increase their presence and their space within the neighborhood by relocating one block north. Russell Cellular was represented by Jimmy Ishay of Gotham Holdings.
Meatpacking District: Union Cleaners leased 1,113 square feet of ground-floor retail, as well as basement space, at the base of TF Cornerstone’s West Coast luxury rental building at 107 Horatio Street. This lease marks the company’s fourth Manhattan location. Sung Cho of Midtown Equities represented the tenant, who will offer their high-end cleaning services to not only building residents but also the surrounding community.
