The asking rent for the 1,188 s/f space was $400 per square foot.
Papyrus’s lease in the Times Square South submarket follows those of other national retailers targeting the abundant pedestrian traffic of area employees, tourists and hotel guests. Among those are Urban Outfitters, Shake Shack and Rituals at 1333 Broadway, another ESRT property.
“The neighborhood continues to be transformed, with the influx of thousands of office workers, and new retailers beginning to populate stores that line the Broadway pedestrian plaza, targeting the growing foot traffic between Times Square and Herald Square,” said Thomas P. Durels, executive vice president at ESRT. “This section of Broadway is destined to become one of the City’s most active retail streets.”
