NEW YORK CITY-Winick Realty Group LLC has been tapped to market one of the most talked-about and sought-after retail spaces in the Financial District—the retail at 100 Broadway. The store has remained vacant since last year when Borders, who had opened at 100 Broadway following the destruction of its World Trade Center location on 9/11, declared bankruptcy, the company says in a statement.

Owners Madison Capital chose Winick to market the 13,400 square feet of corner retail that remains at the building after the company successfully negotiated a lease there for iconic New York drugstore brand Duane Reade. The vacant storefront includes 4,400 square feet of ground floor space with 18-foot ceilings and a 9,000-square-foot lower level that was never utilized for retail before. With Winick CEO Jeff Winick’s vision and proven track record of success, it was decided that a duplex store would be ideal for the needs of the perfect big-box tenant and make the most financial sense for both the tenant and ownership.

“100 Broadway is the ideal location for a national apparel tenant to be part of one of the busiest blocks of the Lower Broadway corridor of the Financial District,” says Darrell Rubens, executive vice president, who is working with Winick to market the retail space to tenants of all use groups, in a statement. With more than 170 feet of wraparound frontage on the corner of Pine Street and Broadway, the site is ideally situated between two of the Financial District’s biggest retail draws, Century 21 and TJ Maxx, to whom Rubens leased their first Downtown store last year at 14 Wall Street.
