NEW YORK, NY — Carvel has officially opened its doors at 251 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, marking the arrival of the iconic ice cream brand at one of Manhattan’s busiest retail intersections. The lease for the location was secured by Ryan Adhami of Schuckman Realty Inc., bringing the nationally recognized retailer to this prominent corner.
Situated at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and West 23rd Street, the new Carvel benefits from exceptional visibility, heavy pedestrian traffic, and immediate access to the 23rd Street subway station. Located directly across from Target, the site draws a steady stream of commuters, residents, office workers, and visitors throughout the day.
Carvel joins a strong lineup of national and local retailers at the property, including Starbucks, The Vitamin Shoppe, QQ Nails & Spa, and Asuka, further enhancing the corner’s diverse mix of convenience, dining, health, and service-oriented businesses. The addition of Carvel reinforces the location’s appeal as a high-performing retail destination within the Chelsea neighborhood.
The opening underscores the continued strength of Manhattan’s street retail market, particularly at well-positioned, transit-oriented locations where established national retailers continue to invest despite a supply-constrained leasing environment.
Schuckman Realty Inc. represented the transaction that brought Carvel to 251 Eighth Avenue and continues to provide retail leasing and tenant representation services throughout New York City and the surrounding metropolitan area.
