Located at 619 Ninth Ave., the property is within Hell’s Kitchen, a neighborhood known for its established residential community, restaurant and retail offerings, and proximity to Midtown’s employment and entertainment centers.
The lease reflects continued demand from service-oriented retailers seeking well-located storefronts as they expand their neighborhood presence.
