Case Study: Landlord Representation | Dorchester Towers

Enitre Blockfront on Broadway between 68th and 69th Streets

A Landlord that rarely outsources their leasing, hired the team to work closely with them to secure new tenants for the base of their building. We partnered with the ownership to retain architects to design a new storefront/façade and re-demise the retail space; and worked with the contractors to implement the new design and prep spaces for leasing. A new storefront has been installed and Abrams Retail Strategies is now exploring options with the Landlord, as we develop a long-term strategy to lease the retail space(s).
