Ray-Ban to Open Global Flagship at SoHo’s 62 Prince Street
Just in time for sunny summer days, sunglasses brand Ray-Ban will open its new global flagship store at SoHo’s 62 Prince Street.
Paris-based optical company EssilorLuxottica, which acquired the Ray-Ban brand in 1999, has signed a 10-year lease for 2,300 square feet at the single-story building owned by 1202 Coney Island Avenue Corporation, according to landlord broker Lee & Associates NYC. Asking rent was $750 per square foot.
“62 Prince Street is situated on one of the most iconic retail corners in all of SoHo,” Lee’s Mark Kapnick, who brokered the deal for the landlord, said in a statement. “This is a high foot traffic area and a popular destination for both the New York fashion scene and tourists alike, making it a perfect location for Ray-Ban to plant their flag.”
