CBRE (CBRE) data for the first quarter of 2023 placed average retail asking rents in Manhattan at $638 per square foot.

“With the welcoming of Starbucks to 2360 Broadway, ownership is looking forward to building a long-term relationship with the tenant,” Newmark’s Ross Kaplan, who represented Extell with Jason Pruger and Harrison Abramowitz along with Extell’s Aaron Cukier, said in a statement. “At the epicenter of the neighborhood’s highly trafficked intersection, the outpost presents a tremendous opportunity to reposition the location for the brand.”

David Firestein and Jenna Heidenberg of SCG Retail brokered the deal for Starbucks along with in-house representation for Starbucks through store development manager John Epifanio. Firestein did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The spot marks about the ninth location in the neighborhood for Starbucks,which shuttered nearly 40 around the city during the pandemic while opening 20 amid a focus on traditional stores and cafes.
