One of Elton John’s favorite clothiers, Joe Bananas of Sydney, is landing at 935 Madison Ave.
The colorful men’s store, which has its own silk farm in Singapore, has leased 1,598 square feet on the ground and 1,446 on the lower level.
Bob Taylor, Timothy Pond and Jonathan Plotkin of Colliers International brought the tenant to its first US location.
Located between East 74th and 75th streets, Joe Bananas will have the northernmost store adjacent to the Met Breuer, thus completing the retail strip.
Ariel Schuster, Jackie Totolo and Jordyn Comras of RKF represented the residential and retail project owned by investor Daniel Straus.
The asking rent was $900 per square foot.
“It’s the last piece of the puzzle,” said Schuster. “Behind the historic façade, the stores have 18-foot ceilings and column-free space. Straus and David Neveloff did all the right things and were patient and waiting for the right tenant.”
