Manolo Blahnik Steps into New Flagship in Lenox Hill

Manolo Blahnik signed a lease for a new flagship store at 717 Madison Ave. in Lenox Hill on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Measuring just under 10,000 square feet, the new store will comprise both men’s and women’s footwear, a first for New York City.

NKF’s Ariel Schuster, Ben Birnbaum and Peter Shimkin were the sole brokers on the transaction. The store is slated to open later this year.

The new location, which replaces a Midtown store that closed last November after 38 years, represents the latest in a series of significant investments in U.S. talent and infrastructure, as Manolo Blahnik prepares to bring its North American business in-house. The double-fronted store will be designed by award-winning architect David Thomas of David Thomas Design, in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik and Kristina Blahnik, group CEO.

Connect New York 2020 is set to take place on Tuesday, April 29 at Upper Story by Charlie Palmer. For more information, or to register, click  here.
