Print edition headline:  "A Premium for a Storefront in the Sun".

Excerpt:    As Manhattan rents rise over all, retailers are jockeying for prime locations, and are paying a premium for areas like the east side of Fifth Avenue — the sunnier side of the street. 

New York’s most expensive retail space, prime Fifth Avenue, is the second-most expensive in the world, after Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong, beating out the Champs-Élysées in Paris and New Bond Street in London, according to the retail group at Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which supplied most of the figures for this article.
