RFR Signs Apparel Brand Gymshark to First U.S. Store

RFR has signed a full-building lease with UK-based fitness apparel and accessories brand Gymshark at 11 Bond St. The direct-to-consumer (DTC) retailer of high-end workout gear will take 15,000 square feet on the corner of Bond Street and Lafayette Street in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood for its first Americas brick-and-mortar retail location. The four-story landmarked space, with 100 feet of frontage on Bond Street, will serve as a Gymshark’s flagship U.S. outpost.

“11 Bond offers a prestigious address with a beautiful physical presence at the crossroads of New York City’s most desirable and well-trafficked shopping destinations,” said Charlie Rosen of RFR.

RFR was represented by a Retail by MONA team led by Brandon Singer. Gymshark was represented by Joel Stephen of CBRE.

“The journey from DTC to omnichannel dominance requires an enduring brand with a devoted following,” said Singer. “Gymshark checks those boxes with its popular product offering and widespread brand recognition and 11 Bond is the perfect backdrop to amplify the firm’s passion for community engagement.”
