A Japanese camera manufacturer is setting up shop in Manhattan\u2019s photogenic SoHo neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Fujifilm<\/a> signed a lease for 12,700 square feet at Comjem Associates<\/a>\u2019 210 Lafayette Street for what could be a brick-and-mortar retail location similar to stores operated by B&H or Adorama.<\/p>\n

Not much else is known about the deal, but Fujifilm\u2019s new space between Kenmare and Spring streets will span three levels, the New York Post reported<\/a>. The space has been largely vacant in recent years, despite popular retail neighbors such as Eataly SoHo.<\/p>\n

Cushman & Wakefield<\/a>\u2019s Andrew Kahn and Matt Weinreb represented both sides of the deal. C&W, however, declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Comjem Associates did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building something big,\u201d a Fujifilm spokesperson said in a statement. \u201cDetails will be shared as soon as they\u2019re available.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transaction closed as SoHo retail leasing continued its upward trajectory with average asking rents in the submarket ranging between $896 and $1,409 per square foot, depending on the specific corridor, according to a third-quarter retail report from CBRE.<\/p>\n

SoHo, one of the hottest retail markets in North America, has asking rents well above\u00a0 the Manhattan average of $707 per square foot, which grew 5 percent on a year-over-year basis in the third quarter, the CBRE report said.<\/p>\n
