Manhattan, NY Chilewich, the New York City-based textiles/housewares company founded by Sandy Chilewich and Joe Sultan, has recently opened a new showroom/headquarters in the Flatiron District at 39 West 19th St. between 5th and 6th Ave. where many designers and high tech companies are located.

The growing company that designs creative, woven textile high-tech tabletop and flooring designs, has taken 11,502 s/f (the entire 11th floor) of the 12-story building owned by the Rosen family. The 1911 building is also home to the London restaurant chain, Burger & Lobster. 

Chilewich, which sells its designs at stores like Crate & Barrel, Bloomingdales, Macy’s and Amazon, is moving to its new location from 44 East 32nd St. (between Madison Ave.and Park Ave. South) where it leased 7,200 s/f on the entire 8th floor and had renewed its lease in 2015.

“Sandy and Joe loved the location which is home to many growing creative companies” said Norman Bobrow & Company’s president Norman Bobrow, who, along with David Badner represented the tenant. 

“The space has blinding sunlight and unobstructed views.  We found them a gem after a lot of hard work.”

Chilewich opened a retail store at 23 East 20th St. (between Broadway and Park Ave.) in November, 2014, also in the Flatiron District.

Ownership was represented by David Koeppel, a principal of Koeppel Rosen LLC, the leasing and managing agent for the Rosen family's New York City portfolio.

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
