Pietro’s Signs Long-Term Retail Lease at 890 Second Avenue
Italian steakhouse Pietro’s has signed a major 890 Second Avenue lease agreement in Midtown East, securing a 15-year retail space in one of Manhattan’s most desirable corridors. The deal brings the nearly century-old restaurant back to New York City after its previous Midtown location closed, reaffirming the strength of Pietro’s lease Midtown East and the appeal of 890 Second Avenue for restaurant and retail tenants.
Pietro’s, which first opened in 1932 at 232 East 43rd Street, has signed a 15-year lease to move into 5,022 square feet on the ground floor and lower level of Stellar Management’s 890 Second Avenue, according to tenant broker Cory Gahr of Lee & Associates NYC.
The lease agreement was facilitated by Lee & Associates NYC and Cushman & Wakefield. Pietro’s plans to move into the new space in June and aims to reopen by August. Stellar Management, the building’s owner, expressed enthusiasm about hosting the restaurant in the Turtle Bay neighborhood, highlighting the area’s vibrant mix of businesses, residences, and landmarks.
