The space, on Fifth Avenue near 55th Street, is currently occupied by retailers such as South African diamond purveyor DeBeers and Italian leather goods concern Bottega Veneta. Globe Street surmised that Richemont, parent company of rival diamond seller Van Cleef and Arpels, intends to open a retail store in part or all of the space once the leases are up.
