NEW YORK CITY-Ben Ashkenazy has closed on the acquisition of 147 E. 57th St.–home of Hammacher Schlemmer’s four-floor flagship–and 636 Ave. of the Americas, a six-story property located at Sixth Avenue and 19th Street.

Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp. spent more than $21 Million for the 70,000-sf 57th Street building where high-tech specialty store Hammacher Schlemmer has been selling its wares since 1926.

Ron Cohen and Richard Baxter of Insignia/ESG represented Ashkenazy in the transaction. The seller was a private family.
