Since the pandemic, the heart of SoHo is thriving and coming
back to life. After reaching a high watermark of $1,000/SF,
average asking retail rents in the area are now only $340/SF
according to REBNY’s Spring 2022 report. Although area rents
are below the pre-pandemic peak, SoHo’s average asking rent
has increased 10% year over year. Evidence of this renewed
confidence is seen in Armani’s recent lease at $473/SF at
134 Spring Street. The pendulum on SoHo’s retail rents is no
doubt swinging back.
