New Anthropolo­gie digs

- Steve Cuozzo

It’s a done deal for Anthropolo­gie at L& L Holding Co.’ s 195 Broadway, also the future home of Nobu.

The upscale contempora­ry lifestyle retailer just signed a 15year, 20,429squaref­oot lease on the ground floor and lower level of the “wedding cake” tower at Broadway and Fulton Street.

Anthropolo­gie is expected to open on the landmark’s Broadway and Dey Street sides in January 2017, the same time as the restaurant.

Combined with Nobu’s 14,000 square feet, the deal leaves available only 10,000 square feet of 195 Broadway’s total 45,000 square feet set aside as retail space.

Terms were not released, but asking rents for the retail space have been listed at $ 500 to $ 600 per square foot.

The Anthropolo­gie lease was negotiated by L& L Executive Vice President

David C. Berkey inhouse with Cushman& Wakefield’s Alan Schmerzler and Bradley Mendelson for the landlord, and McDevitt Co.’s Wade McDevitt and Stephen Plourde for the tenant. L& L, founded by David W.

Levinson and Robert T. Lapidus, is spending $ 55 million to modify the building’s lobby, famed for its 43 Doric style, marble columns.

The recently unveiled design, approved by the Landmarks Preservati­on Commission, will boast 40foottall glass partitions and a galleria linking the stores and restaurant to the office lobby.
