Spirit Halloween, a Halloween costumes and accessories store, has inked a temporary two-month retail lease at the Chelsea Landmark, a rental building at 55 West 25th Street and Sixth Avenue.
Rose Associates has been advertising for a retail tenant for the 17,000 square feet of street-level space and 7,300 square feet of lower-level space. The entire 23,000 square feet was previously occupied by bankrupt interiors store Gracious Home.
Leasing rates for the short-term or long-term were not immediately available.
“Short-term space is always priced at a premium, but the right location can make it worthwhile for seasonal stores or new retailers testing the waters in a specific market. Spirit will no doubt benefit from having a presence in this densely populated residential neighborhood,” said Bruce Spiegel, senior managing director of commercial leasing for Rose, who represented the landlord in the lease.
Spirit was represented by Alex Hill of Winick Realty. — Katherine Clarke
