This storefront at 44 Avenue B is now on the rental market ... the 1,800-square space between Third Street and Fourth Street has a monthly ask of $17,495, per the listing. 

The leasing marks the official end of Remix here, a clothing store selling a variety of streetwear, including brands like Doc Martens, Fred Perry and Izod. 

They opened in early 2020 and didn't have much time to get established before the PAUSE of March 2020... they eventually reopened, though the hours seemed sporadic.  

No. 44 was previously a laundromat.

Ben Shaoul's former Liberty Toye sales office is now for rent on Avenue B

The former sales office for Ben Shaoul's Liberty Toye condoplex is now for rent at 44 Avenue B between Third Street and Fourth Street.

According to the listing at Steve Croman's 9300 Realty, the asking rent on the 1,500-square-foot space is $9,995 per month. The listing notes that this is "one of the hottest areas in NYC" and "Food Use is okay."

Before Shaoul's Toye team took over the long-vacant space last fall... the address was a laundromat.

Shaoul's Magnum Real Estate reportedly sold the nursing home-turned-residential building at Fifth Street and Avenue B for $85 million. (There isn't isn't any sign of this transaction yet in public records.)

Legal documents arrived on No. 44's front door earlier this summer stating that Shaoul owed the $9,300 base rent for March through June ... for a total of $41,345.91.
