Zales Jewelers makes a committment.

Robert K. Futterman & Associates, LLC secured a lease for Zales Jewelers at 2230 Broadway. The jewelry retailer signed for 3,300 s/f at the 20,500 s/f building for 10 years.

Robert Futterman, CEO, Karen Bellantoni, senior managing director, and Beth Rosen, associate of RKF, represented the tenant in the transaction. Building owner Friedland Properties was represented in house. The 2230 Broadway building is located on Manhattan's Upper West Side, between 79th and 80th Streets. Zales' new store is expected to open this winter.

"This is Zales' first Upper West Side location," said Bellantoni. "Zales was attracted to the this location because of the large population of upper-income residents in the surrounding area."

Zales leased 3,300 s/f on the ground floor of 2230 Broadway, with an additional 3,300 s/f of basement space.

The jewelry retailer will share the building with Circuit City.
