Bulow of Lee NYC arranges 2,800 s/f retail lease to DeeDaa; Birnbaum and Cohen of NGKF represent tenant

The New York office of Lee & Associates NYC LLC (Lee NYC), a privately-held national commercial real estate firm, has arranged a new location for DeeDaa at 668 Sixth Ave., between 20th and 21st Sts. Lee NYC managing director Harris Bulow exclusively represented the landlord for the 2,800 s/f multi-level space, which was formerly occupied by BBQue's Smoke Shack. The new store will be DeeDaa's third area location. "This retail market has become very tight, so we had a choice of tenants," said Bulow. "But DeeDaa is a terrific addition to the neighborhood, full of healthy and delicious fast-dining options, like Pret A Manger, Hale & Hearty and Tres Carnes." The tenant was represented by Ben Birnbaum, managing director, and Michael Cohen, associate, Newmark Grubb Knight Frank. In addition to the ground level space at the building, Bulow is representing a 1,000 s/f office space on the fourth floor. He said, "Now that the ground floor has been leased to a great tenant, we are fairly certain our last space in the building will lease up quickly, too."
