Barneys New York To Close Upper West Side Store, Report Says

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — High-end retailer Barneys New York will close its Upper West Side location this month, according to reports.

The 10,000-square-foot store, located at 2151 Broadway between West 75th and 76th streets, is set to close on Feb. 18, Commercial Observer reported. Barneys decided to close the store several years before its lease expires in 2023.

"Barneys New York has enjoyed serving the community on the Upper West Side for over a decade. We sincerely appreciate the loyalty of our customers, and we look forward to continuing to serve them at our Madison, Downtown and Brooklyn locations," a company spokeswoman told Commercial Observer in a statement.

Barneys New York opened the store in 2004 and renovated it in 2013, Commercial Observer reported. The retailer will only have three New York City locations — its Madison Avenue flagship, a store in Brooklyn Heights and a store in Chelsea — after the Upper West Side location closes.
