Retail rent slashed at one Third Avenue spot

One landlord is cutting the asking rents on Third Avenue, a move that will likely help fill long-vacant storefronts between 59th and 79th streets. The asking rent for a two-level, 13,000-square-foot space at 1251 Third Ave. at 72nd Street has been slashed to $1 million a year from $1.8 million, according to the New York Post. The space, once occupied by a Talbots store, includes150 feet of wraparound sidewalk frontage.

The new rent is a deal compared to other places on the avenue. Thor Equities is seeking $2.1 million a year for 6,000 square feet at 1237 Third Ave., between 71st and 72nd streets, where Grace's Marketplace was formerly situated. The owner of 10,000 square feet at 1220 Third Ave., between 70th and 71st streets, is seeking $1.88 million a year; and 14,700 square feet at 1201 Third Ave., between 69th and 70th streets, is going for $2.4 million.
