Eisenman of RKF leases 3,250 s/f to bagel shop

RKF has arranged a new lease on behalf of H&H Midtown Bagels East on New York's Upper West Side, marking the bagel shop's entry to this market. RKF VP Brandon Eisenman represented the tenant, H&H Midtown Bagels East, while Michael Azarian and David Chkheidze of Cushman & Wakefield represented the landlord, 85th Columbus Corp. The in-line space located on the west block between West 85th and 86th Sts. will total 3,250 /f with 1,750 s/f on the ground floor and 1,500 s/f in the basement. Neighboring tenants include Good Enough to Eat, Joe, Osteria Cotta and Kefi. The new store is expected to open in Winter 2015/2016. H&H Midtown Bagels East has operated a location on the Upper East Side at 1551 Second Ave. for over 40 years, and is now expanding to the Upper West Side due to popular demand from area residents. RKF's Eisenman, who recently arranged leases with IRO and Crave Fishbar on the Upper West Side said, "There has been a void in this market for a bagel shop with the legacy of H&H. This was an ideal neighborhood for the brand with its dense residential population and strong co-tenancy with other food purveyors."
