Luxury fashion house Amsale has signed a 10-year lease extension for its existing 12,500 square feet of space — the entire 12th floor — at 318 West 39th St. in the Garment District.
Amsale, a Black-owned business founded by Amsale Aberra and Neil Brown, produces bridal and event wear collections including Amsale, Nouvelle Amsale, Amsale Bridesmaids, Little White Dress and Evening, each of which are carried in fine department and specialty stores worldwide.
Matthew Mandell, senior managing director of GFP Real Estate, represented the landlord, GFP Real Estate, and the tenant, Amsale, in the transaction. The fashion house will continue to use its space as a showroom, design studio and general and executive offices; the company has been a tenant at the building since 2005.
318 West 39th Street was built in 1915 and designed by the architectural firm of Crow, Lewis, & Wickenhafer on the former site of the Finck Brewery and was originally named the Finck Building. The 13-story building’s façade features classically inspired architectural detailing and a welcoming, modernized lobby.
