Aritzia Signs Lease for 3-Level Flagship in Manhattan

Newmark Retail (New York) has reportedly signed a lease on behalf of Aritzia (Vancouver, British Columbia) for a three-level space in New York’s Manhattan at 608 Fifth Avenue, several doors down from its current location at 600 Fifth Avenue, Chain Store Age reports. The new space is roughly 33,000-square-feet and was formerly occupied by Topshop (London).

“The signing of this deal for Aritzia signifies both their continued commitment to physical retail as well as the strength and importance of Manhattan and the U.S. to the continued success and growth of the brand … We believe this additional location will be an integral part of the retail streetscape, as was the case with Aritzia’s additional SoHo location at 560 Broadway signed in 2020,” says Ariel Schuster, who represented Aritzia, alongside Jason Wecker, in the transaction, Commercial Observer reports.

This comes days after the Vancouver-based brand announced its plans to open its fourth Chicago location – a 46,000-square-foot store (formerly occupied by The Gap) on the city’s Magnificent Mile.
