SL Green and The Moinian Group Sign Nordstrom as Retail Anchor at 3 Columbus Circle
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SL Green Realty Corp (NYSE:SLG), New York City’s largest commercial
property owner, and The Moinian Group, today announced they have signed
a 23-year, 43,000-square-foot lease with Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN), one of
the nation’s leading fashion specialty retailers, to anchor three levels
of retail space at 3 Columbus Circle.
The complex transaction involved a series of lease modifications and
relocations including the buyout of the corner bank branch in advance of
lease expiration, continuing SL Green’s strategy of replacing below
market leases throughout its portfolio. The new store will serve as an
expansion of the Nordstrom full-line flagship store, which is debuting
on West 57th Street.
Brett Herschenfeld, SL Green Managing Director, commented, “We are
thrilled that such a prestigious, world-class retailer will anchor 3
Columbus Circle at the corner of Broadway and 57th Street.
New Yorkers have waited a long time to welcome Nordstrom, a retailer
that flourishes throughout the United States and which will further
solidify Midtown Manhattan as the destination for high-end retail
shopping.”
Derek Trulson from Jones Lang LaSalle and Stephen Stephanou from Crown
Retail Services represented Nordstrom, while Jeff Winick from Winick
Realty Group acted on behalf of the landlord.
