MELVILLE, N.Y., July 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- A&G Real Estate Partners, working on behalf of Neiman Marcus Group in the retailer's bankruptcy proceedings, is marketing four luxury department store leases in California, Washington, Florida and Washington, D.C.

Amendola: "Real estate is a long-term play. These leases represent an incredible opportunity for retailers and investors to gain a foothold in markets that, under normal conditions, are renowned for their traffic and sales-as well as for their high barriers to entry."

Offering long-term, multiple-option leases, the buildings are situated in prime, high-visibility retail districts or shopping centers, said Emilio Amendola, Co-President of Melville-based A&G, which provides real estate advisory services to many of the nation's most prominent retailers and corporations in both healthy and distressed situations.

"Real estate is a long-term play. These leases represent an incredible opportunity for retailers and investors to gain a foothold in markets that, under normal conditions, are renowned for their traffic and sales—as well as for their high barriers to entry," Amendola said.
