Luckin Coffee, a global coffee chain with shops in China, Singapore, and Malaysia, has signed a 910-square-foot lease at 184 Thompson Street in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. The lease is for 10 years and six months, with the asking rent not disclosed. The location is ideal for Luckin Coffee, as it is right in the heart of Greenwich Village, a vibrant neighborhood with strong foot traffic from both NYU students and local residents. The landlord, Broad Street Development, was represented by David Green and Albert Halawani of KSR, Brandon Berger, Zach Nathan, Ike Bibi, and Carolina Aziz, also of KSR, while the tenant courting the company for the last available space here speaks volumes about their commitment to elevating the retail component in the area.
