CBRE leases 9,400 s/f retail to Bambi Baby

Manhattan, NY CBRE arranged a 9,400 s/f retail lease for Bambi Baby, a retailer selling baby furniture, nursery sets, strollers, car seats, and other related products, for its first N.Y.C. store at 655 Sixth Ave. Bambi Baby will occupy 900 s/f of ground-floor space and 8,500 s/f in the lower level of the property.

The CBRE team of Jordan Kaplan, Jessica Tauber, and Eric Gelber represented Bambi Baby. The property owner, United American Land, was represented in-house by Jack Laboz, and Aric Trakhtenberg, and Ravi Idnani of Newmark.

“Bambi Baby wanted to open its first flagship location in New York City, and the historic Ladies Mile District in the heart of Chelsea made perfect sense,” said Kaplan. “We are thrilled we were able to secure this amazing space for our client.  It is incredibly located, easily accessible and will be an incredible gain for families in the greater New York City market.”

Bambi Baby has been serving new parents and growing families for more than 49 years and only partners with the best luxury brands in the industry that include Nuna, UPPAbaby, Cybex, Bugaboo, and many more. The company began in 1976 with a small store in West New York, New Jersey, and thanks to its loyal customers and trusted reputation, Bambi Baby has expanded into five brick-and-mortar store locations and an industry-leading e-commerce platform.
