The announcement that discount store Century 21 will replace Barnes & Noble at 1972 Broadway opposite Lincoln Center is bucking the trend of upscale retailers moving in on the Upper West Side, Stuart Elliott, editor-in-chief of The Real Deal, told WNYC. With rents down around 30 percent, the deal follows new retailers such as Apple, Brooks Brothers and West Elm moving into the area, he said. Elliott believes that Century 21 will be a good fit for the Upper West Side, going along with the trend of discount retailers expanding throughout the city. “People are looking for a bargain these days,” he added. The closing of the Barnes & Noble is a “casualty of the recession,” Elliott said, adding that there will likely be more Barnes & Noble closings ahead, as there have been with Starbucks and Virgin Megastore in recent years.

1972 Broadway
Century 21′s deal to replace Barnes & Noble in its 61,000-square-foot Lincoln Square space — first reported yesterday by the blog My Upper West — has been signed, sealed and delivered, Cushman & Wakefield just officially announced. Barnes & Noble is planning to shut its doors at Millenium Partners’ 1972 Broadway in January. Century 21 will take over the following month in preparation for a grand opening in Fall 2011, said Cushman, which brokered the deal. Meanwhile, the move sets the stage for a discount retailer showdown on the Upper West Side, with Loehmann’s — already rumored to be in dire financial straights — vying to retain its customers at 73rd and Broadway and T.J. Maxx, which recently inked a deal for a new store at 250 West 57th Street, and now, Century 21, threatening to lure them further downtown. This morning, the Post reported that T.J. Maxx is also in talks to lease space in traditional Century 21 territory — Lower Manhattan. TRD

Discount clothing store Century 21 will replace the Lincoln Square Barnes & Noble at 1972 Broadway at 66th Street which is slated to close by the end of the year. The closing, according to the blog, My Upper West, is allegedly due to the landlords driving up rents beyond what the store can afford. Century 21 will join other chain stores in the area, such as Trader Joe’s, which is set to open Sept. 20 at a new high-rise, the Corner, at West 72nd and Broadway. [My Upper West]
