Bertwood Realty arranges 1,500 s/f lease

Manhattan, NY Bertwood Realty has signed a 1,500 s/f  lease for the French cookie maker Michel et Augustin at 98- 4^th St. 

The landlord is Bond MM, LLC, c/o Abra Management and was represented by James Stubbs and Jimmy Armstrong from Brooklyn Bridge Realty. Bertand de Soultrait and Abe Bichoupan of Bertwood Realty represented Michel et Augusti.

Michel et Augustin entered the U.S. market with a splash, landing Starbucks as a client earlier this year. With over 400 whole sale accounts now in the country, Michel et Augustin is poised to become a major player in the cookie market. “When I was in France last year,” said Bertand de Soultrait, president of Bertwood Realty, “I noticed Michel et Augustin goods all over Paris. They have a great reputation for quality and great taste, plus their playful approach to marketing is infectious, so much so, when Michel and Augustin simply showed up in Seattle to pitch Starbucks, they managed to land the account.”

Known as the Ben and Jerry’s of France, and over $50 million in sales worldwide, the space in Brooklyn will be used as a base to coordinate wholesale sales and marketing.
