According to Empire State Realty Trust, it has inked two new retail leases with Hoka and Tecovas to join its "North Sixth Street Collection" of stores in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The real estate company noted that Hoka is set to occupy a 4,148-square-foot retail store at 91 N. 6th Street, while Tecovas will take over the 4,174-square-foot space at 89 N. 6th Street. Details of when the stores will open to the public were not disclosed. FN has reached out to Hoka and Tecovas for comment.

Earlier this month, outdoor lifestyle brand REI announced that it will vacate its longtime home at Kushner Companies' Puck Building at Lafayette Street and Houston when its lease runs out at the end of 2026. And while REI hunts for a new tent in Manhattan, tenants are lining up in hopes of snagging its roughly 40,000-square-foot digs. "There will be another retailer right behind them," said Ripco's Richard Skulnik, who reps the Puck Building.
