## Story

**SkiPod**, an indoor virtual reality skiing and snowboarding simulator, has selected **Eenhoorn**’s **572 11th Avenue** for its newest home.

The company’s digital slopes will occupy a 3,790-square-foot corner storefront in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood, according to broker **KSR**. **Traded** first reported the lease.

The deal represents one of the mixed reality company’s first retail locations, according to SkiPod’s website. The second is under development in Dubai.

KSR’s **David Green**, **Benjamin Namdar** and **Darien Hakimi** arranged the transaction. The asking rent was $100 per square foot.

“We’ve been incredibly active in this submarket and are seeing increased demand alongside the new development coming online,” Green told Commercial Observer in a statement.

The deal brings the retail space at 572 11th Avenue to 100 percent leased, according to Green. The brokerage team recently launched leasing at **622 11th Avenue** just one block away, he added, where 3,000 square feet of retail is offered below the 98-unit luxury building the **Westline**.

The retail space SkiPod plans to occupy sits below **Oskar**, the 12-story luxury rental building originally developed by the **Moinian Group**. Moinian sold a 70 percent stake in the property in 2024, CoStar reported. The property is now within the portfolio of Eenhoorn, a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based investor led by **Paul Heule.**

Eenhoorn’s New York portfolio also includes **One Park Row**, a Financial District condominium complex at the corner of Park Row and Ann Street. An affiliate of New York-based **Circle F**, Eenhoorn’s partner at One Park Row, recently sued the investor over allegations of fraud and pushing them out of the partnership, *The Real Deal* reported.
