Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) Retail is pleased to announce that it has secured a lease with the high-end retail brand, COS, for its first Connecticut location at 283 Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, Connecticut. Senior Managing Director Jessica Curtis of NGKF Retail represented the landlord, Fareri Associates, LP, in the transaction.
COS, the luxurious contemporary brand owned by H&M, operates in 26 countries and 19 markets online. The company signed a 15-year lease for 3,400 square feet at 283 Greenwich Avenue, serving as its seventh retail store in the United States.
The space was previously occupied by Scoop NYC, a retailer for women’s fashion. “When the 10-year lease for the previous tenant expired, the vacancy at 283 Greenwich Avenue created the perfect match for the landlord and the tenant.” said Curtis. COS offers women, men and children fashion pieces for the contemporary wardrobe where high-end design and quality live beyond the seasons. “We are thrilled to have found this tenant for Fareri Associates. COS will complement the luxury shopping already available on Greenwich Avenue and we believe it will have much success at this location.”
COS was represented by David LaPierre, senior vice president, and Stephen Sjurset, vice president of CBRE’s retail services group.
