Katz & Associates, the exclusive real estate broker for Leap Inc. in Brooklyn, half of Manhattan and Florida, has closed 10-year deals to bring two new sustainable retail fashion and lifestyle brands to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Katz’s Scott Sher represented Leap Inc. in leases for UpWest to 1,200 square feet at 107 North Third St. and Frank and Oak to 3,500 square feet at 106 North Sixth St. UpWest Brooklyn is now open. Frank and Oak is slated to open in Williamsburg this summer.
This is the first New York store for UpWest, which is based in Ohio and has locations in Ohio, Illinois, Colorado, California and Oregon. Canada-based Frank and Oak has stores in Canada, New York City, Chicago and soon in Shanghai, China.
“Leap is creating a cluster of stores in Williamsburg, bringing great brands to the hottest retail market in Brooklyn,” said Scott Sher, managing director, Katz & Associates. “They do a great job of creating a phenomenal shopping experience.”
The Leap platform enables brands to deploy stores that work in concert with eCommerce more rapidly and at significantly reduced cost and risk. Brand stores powered by Leap bring modern brands to life with compelling, immersive customer experience and data-driven operations.
Garry Steinberg and Brendan Reichenbacher of Lee & Associates represented the landlord.
