THE Dahesh Museum is homeless and seeking a new spot for its collection of 19th and early 20th Century European art works.

Last week, the museum closed its huge space at 580 Madison Ave. and subleased it to the auction house Bonhams & Butterfield, which was represented by Elizabeth Capen of The Lansco Corp.

Moshe Sukenik and Chris Mongeluzo of Newmark Knight Frank represented the Dahesh on the disposition of its own sublease from the Freedom Foundation, which had a remaining term of four years.

Bonhams will move from 595 Madison, where it has a small, upstairs location, to establish a presence on the northwest corner of 56th Street. The new space has 2,400 feet on the ground, a 21,000-foot basement with 18-foot high ceilings and a small mezzanine.

Meanwhile, Dahesh trustee Charles Janson confirmed they are seeking space in Manhattan. Real estate sources advised that one of the spots under consideration was next to the New Museum on the Bowery.

The Wimbledon apartment building at 200 E. 82nd St. is now on the market and could sell for as much as $175 million.

Its 230 units are renting at an average that tops $3,000 a month – making it an ideal candidate for an exclusive deep-pocketed condo conversion, or to remain a rental with the ability to rack up unlimited rent increases.

The 6,500-foot retail space is occupied by Citibank.

Bidders are expected to be a mix of locals, institutions and foreign investors.

The building is being offered on behalf of owners P&H Associates by the Jones Lang LaSalle Capital Market Team of Jubeen Vaghefi, Jeff Morris, Nat Rockett and Thomas Beneville.

The former Tower Records store on the Upper West Side is being replaced by Circuit City.

The electronics retailer will open next fall in 6,000 feet on the ground and 25,000 feet on the second floor at 1961 Broadway – just a hop north of the new rival Best Buy store.

Patrick Smith at Staubach brought in the retailer, while Gene Spiegelman of Cushman & Wakefield represented owners Millennium Partners.

No comments all around, but asking rents in the area are $350 a foot for the street level and $100 for the upper floor.

Bonjour Capital and Joseph Chetrit are in contract to buy the landmarked 5 Beekman St. and may turn the ornate, twin towered building into a hotel – perhaps the Beekman Palace, which is the name of the corporate entity buying the building.

City records show that Bonjour, whose principals are Charles Dayan and Coby Marcos, is in contract with Ruby Schron of Cammeby’s International at a price we’ve heard is north of $50 million.

The 10-story downtown structure on the corner of Nassau Street was constructed from 1881-1883, and just the third city building to have an elevator installed. A huge, clear glass dome covers its central lobby atrium.

“We’re looking to make it into a hotel,” said Marcos. “It’s a one-of-a-kind asset that will be restored to its former beauty and elegance.”

No brokers were involved or harmed in this transaction.

Y-3, Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto‘s sportswear label for Adidas, inked a deal for its first city retail store at 317 W. 13th St. in the Meatpacking District.

The geometrically odd façade of the four-story building is a standout on the street.

The 2,200-foot shop will open on Feb. 5 – the same day as the designer’s eponymous location directly across the street at One Gansevoort St.

Joel Isaacs and David Baker of Isaacs & Co. repped the tenant, while Christopher Owles and Kristin McCann worked for the building owner.

The 10-year lease had an asking rent of $275,000 per year, or $125 per square foot.
