Australian Fashion Brand Mode Mischief Inks Lease at SoHo’s 65 Spring Street

Australian fashion brand Mode Mischief has signed a 2,000-square-foot retail lease at 65 Spring Street in Manhattan’s SoHo, Commercial Observer has learned. The deal converts the spot where the apparel company has held a pop-up location since May into its permanent home for the next five years.

The asking rent was $575 per square foot, a source close to the deal told CO. Current Real Estate Advisors’ Oded Nachmani represented the brand in this deal, which takes effect in January. The landlord, United American Land, was represented by Roy Dervich from Breakwater Holdings.

“Mode Mischief saw a rare opportunity to establish a permanent presence in the heart of SoHo, expanding its initial pop-up into a long-term lease,” Nachmani told CO. “The store joins a standout lineup of leading Australian brands and fresh concepts capitalizing on the neighborhood’s high energy and resilient retail market.”

Dervich did not immediately respond to CO’s request for comment. 

Located in SoHo between Lafayette and Crosby streets, 65 Spring Street is a five-story mixed-use building with residential and commercial units, according to StreetEasy. Other Australian brands along Spring Street include yogurt shop Mimi’s and apparel brand With Jean, while over on Bleecker Street is swimwear retailer Bondi Bathing Suits.
