L&L Holding Company announced an agreement with Dunkin’ to occupy the last remaining retail availability at 600 Third Ave/, L&L’s 42-story office tower in Manhattan’s Grand Central district.
Dunkin’ will occupy a 1,018-square-foot storefront at the base of building next to the lobby. Under the 10-year lease, the global brand is expected to open by year end. Dunkin’ joins Shake Shack, Just Salad, Blink Fitness and Chipotle, which committed to a prime corner location in January, at 600 Third.
“We are pleased to welcome Dunkin’ to our exciting lineup of retailers at 600 Third Avenue,” said L&L Holding Executive Vice President Jonathan Tootell. “With a street-level experience animated by top quality retailers and enjoyable outdoor space, 600 Third has become a great neighborhood amenity within the Grand Central district.”
Originally built in 1970, the 574,067-square-foot tower occupies the entire western blockfront between East 39th and East 40th Streets. L&L, which owns 600 Third in partnership with BlackRock, completed a series of renovations and modernizations to the tower, including lobby upgrades and building system improvements. L&L also redesigned and renovated 600 Third Ave.’s plaza to create a public green space.
Notable office tenants at 600 Third include law firm Polsinelli, strategic investment firm Energy Impact Partners and global investment management firm 3G Capital.
L&L Holding was represented by an in-house team of Tootell, Tanya Grimaldo and Giannina Brancato, as well as by Alan Schmerzler, Patrick O’Rourke, Sean Moran and Catherine Merck of Cushman & Wakefield. Jon Spadafino and Dan Richman of SRS Real Estate Partners represented Dunkin’.
