Braus and Sutro of Lee & Associates NYC chosen to market 149 Essex Street

Manhattan, NY Peter Braus, managing principal, and JP Sutro, managing director of Lee & Associates NYC LLC,  have been awarded the exclusive agency for the retail space at 149 Essex St. between Rivington and Stanton Sts., a building owned by prolific investor HUBB NYC. Located on the Lower East Side, one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods, the 1,500 s/f store is adjacent to the recently opened celebrity haunt Tijuana Picnic, sister restaurant to downtown destinations Acme and Indochine. 149 Essex is also steps away from the 1.9 million s/f mixed-use project, Essex Crossing, whose first phase is now under construction. “This space is at the crossroads of a neighborhood undergoing an amazing transformation,” said Braus. “We think this is an ideal location for a tenant looking to take advantage of all the Lower East Side has to offer.” Sutro said, “The landlord has taken a visionary approach to the property. Our goal is to bring the kind of retail to the space that will complete the revitalization of the entire block-front.” HUBB NYC, a privately held real estate firm, owns and operates 27 multifamily buildings in Manhattan.
