Manhattan, NY Klosed Properties, in partnership with Kassin Sabbagh Realty, has acquired a retail cooperative leasehold at 659 Bdwy. in the NoHo Historic District for $2.5 million — below its previous $6 million trade — securing a vacant storefront with upside in one of the city’s most active retail corridors.
