Acadia Realty Trust is close to inking a 49-year master lease deal for almost 7,000 square feet of retail space at the Carlyle House on the Upper East Side.

The space is on the ground and lower levels of the co-op at 50 East 77th Street between Park and Madison Avenues.

Asking rent for the space that fronts Madison Avenue was $3 million per year, in addition to $4 million in key money, sources told the Commercial Observer.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Paul Massey, Jill Lovatt and Thomas Gammino marketed the property for the Carlyle House.

Other retail tenants in the building are Vera Wang and Perrin Paris, and three spaces are still vacant, the Observer reported.

In February 2015, the White Plains-based real estate investment trust bought a commercial space and a garage at O’Connor Capital Partners’ Wellington on the Upper East Side for a total of $51 million in an off-market deal.

Acadia, Washington Square Partners and BFC Partners are developing a 23-story, 335-unit mixed-use apartment building in Inwood. The developers are looking for a rezoning at 4650 Broadway under Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. [CO]Dusica Sue Malesevic
