West Village
A first West Village storefront for a candy shop built in Paris.
Barnaby Candy’s store was being built in Paris and shipped to New York, so the space had to be right. After two sites went to other bidders, Nomad went from first offer to signed deal in about two and a half weeks.
The challenge
The founders were having their store built in Paris and shipped over, so both the storefront and the block had to fit. Their first site stalled for months, and two others went to competing bidders.
What Nomad did
We tracked West Village retail for four months and made offers on three sites, one on the same day as the tour to get ahead of a competing bid. On the winning site, we went from first offer to signed deposit agreement in about two and a half weeks.
The negotiation
Once terms were agreed, we handled the tax analysis, the building questions and the insurance requirements that come with a landmarked building.
The result
Barnaby Candy signed in April 2026 and is building out its first store ahead of opening.
