Manhattan-based auctioneer Christie’s has signed a lease for a six-story,
235,000-square-foot waterfront warehouse in Red Hook for an
unspecified price, the largest commercial deal in Brooklyn this year. Commercial brokers estimate the rent for the space, at 62 Imlay Street, at around $8 to
$10 per square foot. Christie’s, which has been
performing well since the economic downturn, said the space fits their
needs. “The location was selected for its convenient location and
adequate space for Christie’s storage requirements,” the company said. [Crain's] and [Brownstoner]
