Having leased more than 80 percent of the residences at luxury rental Exhibit at 60 Fulton since the January opening, exclusive leasing agent, The Heller Organization, is now ramping up the marketing of Fidi’s newest retail space. With more than 6,000 square feet of divisible ground level retail space with 20-foot ceiling heights and 120 feet of all-glass, wraparound frontage, the Heller team is seeing more and more offers from restaurants and hospitality-based businesses.
“Fidi and the South Street Seaport are experiencing a boom in terms of new restaurants and fashion retail,” points out Adam Heller, President and CEO of The Heller Organization. “What makes our space unique are the extra high ceilings and extensive frontage on a section of Fulton Street that gets both east- and westbound traffic. The visibility for tenants is unparalleled in this corridor.”
Among the new restaurants in the area are Augustine, Fowler & Wells and Blue Ribbon Federal Grill. Upcoming restaurants include highly anticipated destinations by esteemed chefs David Chang of Momofuku fame and Andrew Carmellini, the James Beard Award-winning chef behind acclaimed restaurants Lafayette and Locanda Verde.
Shopping options surrounding Exhibit are also setting a high standard for potential retail tenants. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hugo Boss and Stuart Weitzman are just a few of the many luxury destinations found at Westfield World Trade Center and Brookfield Place. In addition, several locally-owned boutiques have opened at the South Street Seaport.
Exhibit’s highly-publicized photographic art collection curated throughout the building and the Andres Escobar-designed interiors have made Exhibit a focal point of Downtown style. The combination of location, visibility and an unusually large, open footprint are quickly attracting interest among both restaurateurs and retailers.
Private showings are being scheduled through the website at www.Exhibitdowntown.com and by phone at 212-989-5555. The Heller Organization has an on-site team available seven days a week. In addition to Mr. Heller, the retail leasing team includes Josh Singer; and on the residential program, Rebecca Heller, Cathy Lanzarotti, Jessica Copeland, Amanda Baffa and Michael Gavin.
