Banter, a popular retail brand, has signed a 15-year lease for a 2,000 square foot retail space located at 201 East 31st Street in New York City.

Banter, a well-known retail brand, has recently made a significant move in the New York City real estate market. The company has signed a 15-year lease for a prime retail space located at 201 East 31st Street. The deal was facilitated by brokers Marisa Simkin and John DiGangi from Retail By Mona.
The retail space, spanning 2,000 square feet, is situated in a highly desirable location in New York City. With its proximity to residential areas and other commercial establishments, the property offers excellent visibility and foot traffic for Banter.
Banter, known for its trendy and fashionable products, has been expanding its presence in major cities across the United States. The decision to secure a long-term lease in New York City aligns with the brand’s growth strategy and its aim to tap into the city’s vibrant retail market.
Marisa Simkin and John DiGangi, experienced brokers at Retail By Mona, played a crucial role in facilitating the deal. Their expertise in the New York City real estate market and their extensive network of contacts helped Banter secure the ideal retail space.
The lease term of 15 years provides Banter with stability and a long-term presence in the city. With an asking rent of $200 per square foot, the deal represents a significant investment for the brand. However, given the prime location and the potential for high foot traffic, the lease is expected to be a lucrative opportunity for Banter.
The retail sector in New York City has been experiencing a resurgence in recent years. Despite the challenges posed by e-commerce, brick-and-mortar stores continue to thrive in the city’s bustling neighborhoods. Retailers like Banter recognize the value of having a physical presence in key locations, allowing them to engage with customers directly and create unique shopping experiences.
As Banter prepares to open its doors at 201 East 31st Street, the brand is expected to bring its signature style and trendy products to the vibrant retail scene in New York City. With the support of Marisa Simkin and John DiGangi, Banter is well-positioned to make a splash in the city’s competitive retail market.
