NEW YORK: Valentino sues to terminate its lease on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue because ‘it is no longer a luxury destination’

And they’re not the only ones who think that way.
Also affected are Victoria’s Secret, J.Crew, and Pier 17 .

DailyMailUK: Italian designer brand Valentino is suing the landlord of its flagship store on New York City‘s Fifth Avenue, claiming the location is no longer considered prime real estate amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The four-story retail experience closed to in-person customers alongside many other non-essential businesses when the state went on lockdown in March. Soon after, it put up boarding to protect the store from looting, but it has since been removed.

Data from property brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield states rents averaged $2,513 per square foot when Valentino’s lease began in August 2013.

But as the store partially returns with curb-side pickup for purchases made online, Valentino has filed a lawsuit to get out of its 16-year lease with Savitt Partners LLC, nine years early. more

    The man is no less a psycho than obama.

    We deserve the misery we’re going through for electing obama, and for electing the Crying Boehners.

    NYC deserves DOUBLE misery for electing obama, then electing di blasio – twice.
