Sholom & Zuckerbrot brokers relocation for Gothic Cabinet Craft
Sholom & Zuckerbrot Realty (S&Z) has negotiated a long-term retail lease for Gothic Cabinet Craft at 1646 Second Ave., according to Frank Zuckerbrot, president of S&Z. The wooden furniture manufacturer is set to take occupancy in the 2,337 s/f space this fall.
"Because of subway construction at its previous location, Gothic Cabinet needed a more convenient retail space," said Marc Durst, who brokered the deal for S&Z. "We feel privileged to have the opportunity to relocate an authentic maker of fine wooden crafts to a more agreeable area."
Durst represented the tenant, while Ross Kaplan and Stu Morden of Newmark Knight Frank represented the building.
The move positions Gothic Cabinet in the heart of the Upper East Side's central business district, in a newly constructed space.
