March 20, 2026 - Brokerage

Manhattan, NY According to Tishman Speyer, MYKA, a Greek frozen yogurt brand, has signed a 10-year lease for a 482 s/f space at 1270 Avenue of the Americas at Rockefeller Center. In the transaction, MYKA was represented by Eli Gold and Michael Shkreli of RTL, while Tishman Speyer was represented in-house by Kathryn Brody.

MYKA is a globally recognized authentic Greek frozen yogurt brand introducing a new gourmet category within the ice cream space, crafted from premium Greek yogurt. Founded in Madrid in 2023 by entrepreneurs Natalia Morales and Javier Ezquerro, MYKA has expanded with over 200 franchises signed across more than 19 countries, evolving from a local artisanal concept into a global sensation in major cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, and Mexico City.

MYKA opened its first U.S. location in Miami Beach, Florida, in December 2025, and is set to open upcoming locations in London, Hong Kong, Paris, and Sao Paulo. Each MYKA store features its own in-store workshop, where yogurt is made fresh daily alongside more than 30 gourmet toppings. MYKA’s proprietary recipe combines artisanal Greek yogurt with pasteurized milk and high-quality kefir to preserve the probiotic benefits, protein content, and creamy texture of traditional Greek yogurt, without artificial additives or industrial substitutes.

Toppings range from handmade crumbles and fruit compotes to granolas and its signature baklava. Guests can customize their creations from MYKA’s signature bases: Classic Greek Frozen Yogurt made with goat’s kefir, rotating seasonal flavors, and fruit-forward sorbets offering vegan and lactose-free options. The result is an elevated sensory experience rooted in simplicity, authenticity, and craftsmanship.

The addition of MYKA further strengthens Rockefeller Center’s position as one of New York City’s premier mixed-use destinations. With a dining lineup that includes acclaimed restaurants such as Jupiter, NARO, and 5 Acres, alongside convenient grab-and-go concepts like Daily Provisions and Miznon, as well as specialty offerings such as The Tipsy Baker and Lil Sweet Treat, Rockefeller Center offers a wide range of options for office tenants, visitors, and New York City residents, reinforcing its role as a destination.
