According to Manhattan Skyline, Starbuck's Teavana Fine Teas + Tea Bar, a modern tea bar and retail store, has opened at 1142 Madison Ave. between East 84th and East 85th Sts. The Teavana Fine Teas + Tea Bar, a tea emporium and the first of its kind, will occupy 1,820 s/f on the ground floor at the base of a high-end luxury condominium developed by Manhattan Skyline in 1987.
"We're delighted that Manhattan Skyline was chosen by Starbucks to showcase their new Teavana® Fine Teas + Tea Bar," said Joshua Roth, vice president of retail leasing at Manhattan Skyline Management Corp. "This Madison Ave. location is perfectly situated on a street with elegant retail, near the world's best museums, residences and schools and we're confident that Starbuck's new venture into the world of tea artistry will enjoy long-term success."
The Tea Bar is only a portion of the 11,000 s/f retail space that now houses powerhouse fitness-fashion brand Lululemon, a firm that has been enjoying a wide range of activity since opening at the Madison Avenue location two years ago. A remaining 5,635 s/f of retail space is still available for lease with 45 feet of Madison Ave. frontage.
