JLL has been retained by the New York Auto Museum initiative to open a 200,000-square-foot museum and entertainment complex in Manhattan

JLL Tapped to Find 200K-SF Manhattan Site for NY Auto Museum

JLL has been retained by the New York Auto Museum (NYAM) initiative to open a 200,000-square-foot, centrally located museum and entertainment complex in Manhattan that could serve more than two million visitors a year. The NYAM initiative is seeking a landlord partner to create what would be the nation’s first permanent facility dedicated to showcasing the past, present and future of the automobile. 

New York chairman Peter Riguardi and VP Charles Gerace are leading JLL’s effort to secure a strategic partner. Plans call for exclusive car collections, educational exhibits and technological innovations, along with unique shops, social gathering spaces and a restaurant. 

“New York is one of the world’s most exciting cities with attractions that draw millions here every year,” said Riguardi. “This tremendous new venture promises to further elevate the city’s standing as a premier venue for spectacles that inspire and delight visitors and residents alike.”
