Sephora has committed to a long-term lease for approximately 4,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space at 401 West 14th Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. The lease was signed with Taconic Partners and Nuveen Real Estate and will relocate Sephora’s existing Meatpacking store from its current Ninth Avenue address to the new corner location.
The new store is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027. Located at the intersection of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue, the space sits adjacent to Apple’s Meatpacking District flagship, positioning Sephora within one of Manhattan’s highest-profile retail corners. The move consolidates Sephora’s presence in the neighborhood into a location with strong visibility and foot traffic.
Michael Adelstein, vice president at Taconic Partners, noted that Sephora’s decision to lease at 401 West 14th Street reflects the importance of highly visible, heavily trafficked locations in establishing and maintaining a strong retail footprint. He described the Meatpacking District, and specifically the corner of Ninth Avenue and 14th Street, as one of the most iconic and in-demand shopping destinations globally, and pointed to ongoing public-sector and business improvement initiatives that are expected to support the area’s long-term appeal.
