ABOUT THE PROPERTY
36 Union Square East occupies a commanding corner at the northeast intersection of East 16th Street and Union Square, one of Manhattan’s most iconic and high-traffic commercial hubs. The building’s wraparound frontage and direct exposure to Union Square Park position it as a premier branding opportunity in a district known for its dynamic blend of retail, residential, and institutional activity. The surrounding area is anchored by a powerful mix of national retailers, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Best Buy, and Nordstrom Rack, as well as cultural and educational institutions like NYU and Mount Sinai Union Square. The building benefits from consistent pedestrian flow driven by the Union Square Greenmarket, seasonal events, and the convergence of multiple subway and bus lines. With its historic architecture and strategic location, 36 Union Square East offers a rare opportunity for tenants seeking visibility in a neighborhood that blends heritage with modern commerce. The building’s infrastructure supports a range of retail uses, and while venting is possible, it may require additional coordination. Its proximity to both Midtown and Downtown makes it a strategic choice for brands targeting a broad Manhattan audience.
