Room & Board will be exiting its Soho space at 105 Wooster by the end of the year, leaving a rare opportunity in the highly regulated retail area for a large user.

John Brod of ABS Partners is marketing what he says is the largest opportunity in Soho. That’s because newly built stores in the area can’t be more than 20,000 square feet — and now this space measuring a hefty 40,000 square feet is on the market.

The asking blended rent is $225 per square foot, or $8.9 million per year, which means a retailer would expect to do more than $90 million a year in sales.

Tiffany is across the street while Chanel holds down one of the corners.

Room & Board needed more space and has already opened on West 18th Street in the base of the Twitter building in Chelsea.


Glenn Newman has retired as president of the Tax Commission and Ellen Hoffman, now a commissioner on the Tax Appeals Tribunal, started this week as acting-president. Hoffman did not return a call for comment.

The Tax Commission hears appeals of all protests of property tax assessments while the Tribunal hears appeals of all other finance matters. In the last few years, however, the Tribunal commissioners have also heard property tax assessment protests.
