A&G Real Estate Partners, working on behalf of Neiman Marcus Group in the retailer’s bankruptcy proceedings, is marketing four luxury department store leases in California, Washington, Florida and Washington, D.C.
Offering long-term, multiple-option leases, the buildings are situated in prime, high-visibility retail districts or shopping centers, said Emilio Amendola, Co-President of Melville-based A&G, which provides real estate advisory services to many of the nation’s most prominent retailers and corporations in both healthy and distressed situations.
“Real estate is a long-term play. These leases represent an incredible opportunity for retailers and investors to gain a foothold in markets that, under normal conditions, are renowned for their traffic and sales—as well as for their high barriers to entry,” Amendola said. “Additionally, some of these locations are particularly promising for conversion to hotel, office or residential use.”
The leases are for the following Neiman Marcus stores:

Building: 87,608 square feet
Term: Expires March 31, 2032 (options available through March 31, 2112).

Dallas-based Neiman Marcus Group this past May announced that it had commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. As part of the process, Neiman Marcus Group has secured debtor-in-possession financing of $675 million from creditors to enable business continuity throughout the proceedings. The luxury, multi-branded, omni-channel fashion retailer operates under the Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus Last Call, and Horchow brand names.
