Manhattan, NY The Bromley Companies, developer of a diversified national portfolio, announced that the bakery Levain Bakery has signed on to lease space at 122 Fifth Ave., an 11-story, mixed-use project. The newly reimagined 122 Fifth Ave. is also home to retailers including Pandora, Parachute Home and athleisure brand Allbirds. The landmarked office tower reached completion earlier this month.
Founded in 1995 by Pam Weekes and Connie McDonald as a small bread shop on the Upper West Side, Levain Bakery has become a renowned destination. Levain operates eight bakeries within New York City and also has locations in Chicago, Boston, the Greater Washington DC area, and most recently opened their first West Coast bakery in Los Angeles.
As part of its lease, Levain Bakery will occupy 3,000 s/f at the base level of the office component of 122 Fifth Ave., adjacent to the 18th entrance of the building – a location for residents, visitors and businesses in the Flatiron neighborhood. The bakery is expected to open Q1 of next year. Levain was represented by Newmark, while Bromley was represented by Cushman & Wakefield.
"Levain Bakery is a key piece to the puzzle in our vision of creating a premier office destination where our tenants can look forward to their commute and the seamlessness of it all,” said Nicholas Haines, CEO of Bromley Companies. “The amenity package at 122 Fifth represents modern amenities that we believe blend the conveniences of home with the professionalism of the office that will encourage workers to want to be in person. We are thrilled to welcome Levain to office tenants, visitors and neighbors of the Flatiron district.”
Through a $100-million dollar investment, Bromley Companies has elevated the offering of the project with the addition of a rooftop pavilion and terrace to the building, expanding it to 300,000 s/f.
