„ Cushman & Wakefield announced the sale of 656-660 Lexington Avenue, a corner development site that totals 52,900 buildable square feet. The final sale price was $24,000,000, equating to $452 per buildable square foot. Cushman & Wakefield’s Will Conrad and Damani Strasner represented the seller. Sergey Rybak of Rybak Development acquired the asset. “656-660 Lexington Avenue is a prime corner development site in Midtown Manhattan,” said Conrad. “This is one of the first major development site deals in the area since the beginning of the pandemic, a sign that developers are still betting on New York City and are confident in its rebound.” Located on the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and East 55th Street, 656-660 Lexington Avenue is zoned C5-2.5, allowing for commercial office or hotel development, along with mixed-use commercial and residential development. The site is currently improved by an 8,821-square-foot retail building.“ [https://rew-online.com/ryback-acquires-midtown-development-site/](https://rew-online.com/ryback-acquires-midtown-development-site/) ---

I walked by earlier today, and what I noticed is that the store on the corner is going out of business.
