Case Study: Landlord Representation | Dorchester Towers
Enitre Blockfront on Broadway between 68th and 69th Streets
A Landlord that rarely outsources their leasing, hired the team to work closely with them to secure new tenants for the base of their building. We partnered with the ownership to retain architects to design a new storefront/façade and re-demise the retail space; and worked with the contractors to implement the new design and prep spaces for leasing.
A new storefront has been installed and Abrams Retail Strategies is now exploring options with the Landlord, as we develop a long-term strategy to lease the retail space(s).

Case Study: Landlord Representation | Turnstyle: "Transit Marketplace"
We worked closely with the developer to put together a leasing/merchandising plan and then approach and secure best in class tenants. This project, in the Columbus Circle Subway Concourse, was the first public/private partnership to activate space controlled by the MTA in NYC.
