Ingka Investments, the investment arm of Ingka Group,\u00a0which owns\u00a0the majority of\u00a0IKEA stores worldwide, recently announced plans to bring a second IKEA location to Manhattan, N.Y.<\/p>\n

The company announced a new investment in the borough\u2019s SoHo neighborhood, following the acquisition of 570 Fifth Ave. last year. Ingka Investments has reportedly acquired Wharton Properties\u2019 529 Broadway, which is currently home to Nike\u2019s flagship store.<\/p>\n

Ingka reportedly<\/a> paid $213 million for the 2016 building and plans to transform the property into a mixed-use building with retail and office space.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks Ingka\u00a0Investments\u2019 fourth acquisition of prime commercial real estate to support IKEA\u2019s growth\u00a0in the world\u2019s leading cities,\u201d said Peter van der Poel, managing director of Ingka Investments. \u201cThrough property ownership, we can secure IKEA presence at the most important retail hubs while keeping affordability at the core. This new location in New York City allows us to continue offering inspiring and accessible home furnishing solutions to everyone, regardless of their budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Located at the intersection of Broadway and Spring Street, the property incorporates more than 44,000 square feet of Manhattan retail space<\/a> across six stories. One of just a few recently constructed properties in the heart of SoHo \u2014 one of New York City\u2019s top retail destinations with more than 12 million visitors annually \u2014 529 Broadway was designed to offer a modern retail experience while blending in well with the historic character of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\"SoHo<\/a>

529 Broadway was completed in 2016 and incorporates more than 44,000 square feet of premium Manhattan retail space in the heart of the historic SoHo neighborhood.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

This recent acquisition is in line with the company\u2019s efforts to expand IKEA\u2019s presence in the U.S.\u00a0through new store formats. It also builds on Ingka Group\u2019s more than $2.2 billion\u00a0growth strategy to meet customers where they are and maximize fulfilment in the\u00a0U.S.<\/p>\n

The IKEA store will be located on the first and second floors of the building, spanning a total of 25,000 square feet. The lower will be used for storage and other back-office facilities. Next, contrary to ongoing trends of converting office space to other purposes<\/a>, Ingka will renovate the four upper floors for<\/em> office use.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are boldly\u00a0reimagining how we reach and serve our customers, and this new store in the heart of\u00a0New York City is another step for IKEA to be closer to the many,\u201d said Javier Qui\u00f1ones, CEO and chief sustainability officer with IKEA U.S. \u201cAs we celebrate 40 years in the U.S., this investment on one of New York\u2019s busiest retail corners underscores our commitment to accessibility and meeting customers where they are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other recent store openings in the U.S. include the new IKEA stores in: McAllen-Pharr and San Marcos, Texas; Hunt Valley, Md.; Cherry Hill, N.J.; and Beaverton, Ore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
