231 W. 39th St. 231 W. 39th St. in the Garment District of Manhattan

NEW YORK CITY— Foodie alert. As the Garment District continues to evolve, Fête New York is bringing a food hall with nine local food vendors to 231 W. 39th St., located between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Adams & Company Real Estate signed a 16-year, 12,063 square-foot lease with the culinary company. The tenant will occupy the ground floor of the 12-story building that was constructed in 1908 and is known as the Contemporary Fashion Center. Asking rent was $125 per square foot.

Scheduled to open in spring 2019, the food hall will welcome visitors seven days a week and will offer cuisine created by rising chefs. The space will be anchored by a central bar, serving New York brewed beer and concocted spirits to encourage a nightlife scene.

James and Jeffrey Buslik of Adams & Co. represented their company, and Michael Yadgard of Maxwelle New York represented the tenant.

“Fête New York will bring a transformative food experience to the Garment District, a neighborhood that has evolved significantly as a 24/7 destination in recent years,” says James Buslik. “This food hall diversifies one of Manhattan's most cultural neighborhoods, creating a central gathering place that introduces the local workforce, residents and visitors to culinary concepts from the five boroughs.”

Patrons will also say hello to the Jazz Age. Designed by Carpenter & Mason, Fête New York will bring a 1920s Art Deco look to the building, to celebrate the continued growth and rebirth of Manhattan.
