Tamashii Nations, the Japanese collectibles brand under Bandai Namco’s umbrella, has signed a 1,324-square-foot retail space at 1500 Broadway in the middle of Times Square. Based in Minato, Tokyo and founded on September 29th 2005 through the merger of Bandai and Namco; this multinational conglomerate specializes across various sectors such as toys, video games, arcades to anime restaurants and amusement parks.
CBRE’s Henry Rossignol & Anthony Stanford brokered the lease with Maki Yamamoto from ARBA-L New York representing Tamashii Nations during negotiations. “We believe Times Square is an ideal location to introduce Tamashii Nations’ products to NYC due its increasing popularity worldwide,” said Rossignol. “We are thrilled they chose 1500 Broadway for their short term deal.”
