Internationally acclaimed Italian luxury denim brand Jacob Cohen will open its first U.S. flagship at 790 Madison Avenue, Newmark Retail announced. Located on the corner of East 67th Street, the storefront comprises 5,700 square feet across the ground floor, second floor and lower level. Newmark Retail Vice Chairman Ariel Schuster and Senior Managing Director Michael Paster represented Jacob Cohen in the lease negotiations.

Founded more than two decades ago, Jacob Cohen is recognized globally for its artisanal craftsmanship, hand-finished denim and commitment to authenticity throughout its evolution. The two-story flagship, previously home to Michael Kors, offers unparalleled double height visibility and the unique opportunity to customize the non-landmarked building façade. Jacob Cohen plans to open in mid-2026.

“Jacob Cohen has built a brand defined by craftsmanship, authenticity and intent. Establishing their first U.S. flagship on Madison Avenue, among a roster of globally respected luxury houses, was a compelling and strategic next step,” said Schuster.

Located at the corner of East 67th Street, 790 Madison Avenue is a boutique mixed-use property situated along one of Manhattan’s most sought-after luxury retail corridors. The area is home to globally recognized brands including Carolina Herrera, Max Mara, Anine Bing, Bonpoint, Le Labo, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana, drawing steady foot traffic from Upper East Side residents, international visitors and destination shoppers.

Douglas Elliman’s Gary Dana represented the landlord in the transaction.
