Bauman Rare Books to Open New Gallery at 485 Madison Ave.

Antiquarian book company Bauman Rare Books is opening a new street-level gallery at Jack Resnick & Sons’ 485 Madison Ave. in Midtown Manhattan. As part of a new ten-year lease, Bauman will occupy 3,500 square feet on the ground and second floors of the 25-story tower. 

Founded by Natalie and David Bauman in 1973, Bauman Rare Books has been a New York City fixture since it opened its first Midtown gallery in 1989 in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. “Our firm is thrilled to provide a new home for this premier and storied bookseller,” said Jonathan Resnick, president of Jack Resnick & Sons.

Jack Resnick & Sons was represented in-house by Adam Rappaport and Brett Greenberg.  Andrew Goldberg and Christopher Heyn of CBRE represented Bauman Rare Books.

With this agreement, the retail component of 485 Madison is now 100% leased. Bauman will join menswear brand Hive & Colony, Swiss shoemaker Le Majordome and Fresco by Scotto Restaurant, which has been a staple at the building since 1993.
