NEW YORK CITY-The former Maurice Villency space on 35th Street and Madison Avenue will soon become the US flagship of Parisian furniture designer Roche Bobois. The 28,000-sf tri-level store is slated to open within the next 90 days.

Garrick-Aug Worldwide Ltd. vice chairman Faith Hope Consolo and managing director Joseph A. Aquino represented Roche Bobois as well as building owner George Comfort & Sons Inc. in negotiating the10-year lease at 200 Madison Ave. While details are not being released, asking rent for the space was $1.5 million per annum.

“200 Madison is a central location, in the 34th Street District, one of the fastest growing retail areas, considered the heartbeat of Manhattan,” says Consolo. “It draws business not only from the entire Manhattan marketplace, but also New Jersey and the boroughs. It is just steps away from the excitement of Herald Square, the Empire State Building, and Fifth Avenue.”
