REBNY's Retail Deal of the Year Award winners ( l - r ): Howard Dolch and Robin Abrams of The Lansco Corporation, winners of the Most Creative Retail Deal of the Year Award for Filene's Basement and Syms Clothing at 530 Fifth Avenue, Gary Alterman, Robert K. Futterman, and Ariel Schuster of Robert K. Futterman & Associates, winners of the award for the Retail Deal that Most Benefits Manhattan for bringing Fairway Market to 240 East 86th Street.

The retail transactions that brought Filene’s Basement and Syms to Fifth Avenue at 44th Street and Fairway to East 86th Street took home the coveted top honors as the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) presented its 2010 Retail Deal of the Year Awards on Tuesday night at the 101 Club. The annual prizes recognize the city’s most creative and significant retail deals.

Robin Abrams and Howard Dolch of The Lansco Corporation won the Most Creative Retail Deal of the Year for “Two great stores under one roof: Filene’s Basement & Syms Clothing” at 530 Fifth Avenue.

Robert K. Futterman, Gary Alterman and Ariel Schuster of Robert K. Futterman & Associates won for the award for the Deal that Most Benefits Manhattan for “Meeting the demands of an underserved market; The Fairway ‘Like No Other Market’ lease” at 240 East 86th Street.

“This is one of REBNY’s most competitive contests because of New York City’s stature as a world class retail destination” said Steven Spinola, REBNY President. “This year’s Retail Deal of the Year winners had to overcome a number of obstacles to bring these transactions to completion. The awards are presented to those who are able to use their expertise, skill and creativity to meet retailers’ needs and ensure their continued growth and expansion in our city. We commend this year’s winners and nominees.”

Robin Abrams and Howard Dolch of The Lansco Corporation took home the Most Creative prize for their ingenuity in creating a home for Filene’s Basement and Syms Clothing “under one roof” at 530 Fifth Avenue. They faced numerous challenges in finding a location for the retailer: a flagship location that would help cement in consumers’ minds the singular brand of Syms/Filene’s, one that would drive sales, a location with good loading/delivery areas that the tenant could access 24 hours a day, a layout that would accommodate all the store’s departments, and a space that would meet Syms/Filene’s build out requirements and budget.
