Manhattan, NY Blue Bottle Coffee will soon perk up the Flatiron District, bringing its responsibly sourced, freshly roasted beans to 1,541 s/f of space on the ground floor of 257 Park Avenue South, according to building owner and manager The Feil Organization. The café will have 23 feet of frontage on Park Avenue South.
Terms of the 10-year lease were not disclosed. The tenant is expected to take possession of the space in July, 2018.
“We are pleased to announce the addition of Blue Bottle Coffee to our iconic Park Avenue South building. Having recently been backed with a substantial investment by Nestlé, we believe that the capital being put into the brand and growth o f the chain will both serve the local community and act as a tremendous amenity to the office tenants at our building,” said Randall Briskin, vice president of leasing, who represented Feil. Drew Weiss, Mark Frankel, and Jeff Roseman of Newmark Knight Frank represented the tenant.
