Luxury clothing boutique Workshop has come to the Plaza District with a new location at 485 Madison Ave., said building owner/manager Jack Resnick & Sons.
Led by owner/designer Ron Shahar, Workshop offers custom-made women’s apparel, outerwear, and accessories made from fine leather, suede, fur and shearling. As part of a 10-year lease, Workshop will occupy 654 square feet of retail space with 13 feet of prime store frontage on Madison Avenue at 52nd Street.
Workshop is the second high-end fashion retailer to commit to the 25-story office tower in recent months. Swiss shoemaker Le Majordome opened its first flagship store in the U.S. in November. Both shops join Italian eatery Fresco by Scotto and Gregory’s Coffee at the property.
“This transaction reinforces the enduring appeal of Madison Avenue retail in Midtown,” said Jonathan Resnick, President of Jack Resnick & Sons. “Workshop’s new boutique is an ideal complement to our retail mix at 485 Madison Avenue.”
Jack Resnick & Sons was represented in-house by Managing Director Adam Rappaport. Asking rent was $300 per square foot.
