The team of Faith Hope Consolo, chairman, and Joseph Aquino, executive vice president of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Leasing and Sales Division, has been selected to market the newly constructed retail space at 44 Mercer St. According to Consolo. "The space boasts 2,500 s/f on the ground level and 4,000 s/f on the selling lower level. It is ideal for a retailer seeking a shop among the finest in fashion, to create a highly exclusive retail destination for young fashionistas and discerning designer shoppers." "This brand new retail space is just a stone's throw from the elite Mercer Hotel, and is also frequented by epicureans, who adore neighborhood bistros like the South American Antique Garage and Belgium's Le Pain Quotidien" said Aquino "Storeowners are so successful in this location that they never want to leave, creating a very diverse district. Surrounding retailers include Prada, L'Occitane, Marc Jacobs, Scoop, Kate Spade, Ben Sherman, Buckler, Lucky, Ed Hardy and Burton."
