NEW YORK CITY-City Knickerbocker Lighting, a fixture for 50 years at its 781 Eighth Ave. address, has sold its West Side property for $6.9 million.
The firm, which began operations in 1906, has since relocated to a new 10,000-square-foot facility on the second floor of 665 11th Ave. City Knickerbocker has been a source for antique, reproductions and contemporary lighting for more than a century. The building's location makes it ideal for a restaurant or cafe on the ground floor with offices on top, according to Newmark Grubb Knight Frank Retail's Jonathan Krivine. The property has 9,000 square feet of rentable space, according to the New York Post.
Krivine, colleague Dennis Karr, and Lewis A. Kerman, president of LK Allen Inc. represented the seller in the transaction. Brandon Eisenman of RKF represented the buyer, 781 Eighth Avenue Owner, LLC. See story in the New York Post.
