RIPCO Brings Four Retail Tenants to Upper East Side Co-Op

RIPCO Real Estate recently completed four retail deals totaling 10,000 square feet at 845 Madison Ave. on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The tenants included Zadig & Voltaire, John Elliott, Lanvin and Officine Generale. 

Richard Skulnik and Linsday Zegans of RIPCO represented the co-op board of 845 Madison Ave. Skulnik and Zegans also represented Lanvin. Michael Leifer and Isabel Solmonson Cohen of Runyon New York represented John Elliott and Zadig & Voltaire, while Michael Yadgard of Compass represented Officine Generale. 

“These deals represent a return to retail on Madison Avenue,” said Skulnik, vice chairman, partner and manager of RIPCO’s Manhattan office. “The deal volume was suppressed prior to the pandemic, and it continued through 2022 until recently. Many buildings were looking for new tenants and pricing. With the push for new luxury brands, we were able to lease the building to a mix of fashion retailers.”
