C. Bradley Mendleson, executive managing director, and Eduardo Pena, associate, of Insignia/ESG's Retail Group, negotiated the lease for building owner Cammeby's International, while the Winick Realty Group represented the Duane Reade.
Mendleson would not reveal details of the transaction, but says the rent is in line with the market. Retail deals in the area are closing at between $40 and $55 per sf. The Duane Reade space, formerly a restaurant, is on the ground floor of an office building at 80-02 Kew Gardens Rd. The new store is scheduled to open in about four months.
