Katz & Associates’ Yablon leases 3,575 s/f to the French National Cheese Board

New York, NY David Yablon of Katz’s New York office represented the landlord KANO Real Estate Investments in a deal to bring the French Cheese Board to 56 Spring St. in Nolita, New York City. Helmsley Spear’s Christine Emery represented the French Cheese Board in the transaction.

The French Cheese Board’s existing lease was coming to an end and they wanted a larger space. Their new space at 56 Spring St. consists of 2,200 s/f on the ground and 1,375 s/f in the selling lower level. It will enable the French Cheese Board, an ambassador of the French cheese experience, to host cooking lessons, cheese pairing sessions, interactive presentations, feature a boutique, and serve as a beacon for chefs, artists, bloggers, foodies, and cheese makers to explore and innovate.

Yablon said, “The landlord was particular about who would be renting the space. They wanted the use to fit with the neighborhood and complement the existing tenants. By actively marketing the property, we were able to secure a lease with the French Cheese Board, which will be an asset.”
