Premiere Manhattan Landlord to Renovate 160 Fifth Avenue and Offer All-New Retail Space
at 350 West Broadway 
 
NEW YORK  – RFR Realty LLC is presently offering for lease prime office and retail space in two of
Manhattan’s most desirable locales. RFR acquired the eight-story, 120,000-square-foot building at 160 Fifth Avenue between 20th and 21st Streets in the Flatiron District 18 months ago. Since that time, RFR has undertaken a complete capital improvement program that will have the property ready for occupancy by a single office tenant in July 2009.  In addition, basement, ground and second floor retail space totaling 30,750 square feet will also be available.

“160 Fifth Avenue is ideally suited for a creative or financial corporate office tenant, or a design, apparel or financial services retail tenant,” said Richard Farley, senior vice president of leasing for RFR Realty. 

In addition to 160 Fifth Avenue, RFR is leasing the retail space of the residential condominium at 350 West Broadway.  A dramatic, two-level space in SoHo’s newest and tallest luxury property located between Grand and Broome Streets, this is SoHo’s premier retail location.  The ground floor offers 5,862 square feet with more than 196 feet of street frontage on West Broadway. The second floor features 5,275 square feet of retail space along with a 1,390-square-foot private terrace.

“The retail space at 350 West Broadway is arguably among the most desirable in Manhattan and offers unprecedented exposure within the brand-conscious SoHo neighborhood,” said Mr. Farley. “The property will likely attract key fashion tenants.”

RFR is one of Manhattan’s fastest growing commercial real estate owners with a portfolio comprising approximately six million square feet in of prime office and retail space in Manhattan, including the premier properties 375 Park Avenue and 390 Park Avenue (Lever House).
