Brookfield Place has sewn up another lease in the downtown race for luxury-retail supremacy.
Italian menswear fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna has signed a 10-year deal at the soon-to-be-reinvented shops around the Winter Garden.
The 3,550-square-foot ground-level boutique will include a large mezzanine that will open directly into the second-floor office lobby level.
The two-story shop will have a 40-foot-tall glass façade.
“It says a lot about downtown,” Ed Hogan, national director of retail for Brookfield Office Properties, said of Zegna’s second city store.
The shop will be on the north side of the new glass-cube atrium entrance on West Street, which will provide both street and underground access to the World Trade Center through the East-West Concourse when it opens this month.
The designer joins a luxury lineup that will include Hermes, Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Michael Kors and Calypso.
Joan Siegel of Siegel Consultants represented Zegna, while Brookfield was represented in-house by Hogan and Kira Meers of The McDevitt Co.
Separately, Brookfield has hired a Cushman & Wakefield team led by Bruce Mosler to represent 450 W. 33rd St., a 1.7 million-square-foot building with 100,000-square-foot floorplates and sweeping views.
