Rivian to Open Brooklyn Showroom
Rivian Automotive Inc., the electric truck startup backed by Amazon.com Inc., has signed a lease in Brooklyn for its first New York City retail store.
California-based Rivian is opening a New York flagship in Williamsburg, according to a statement. The lease at 360 Wythe Ave. spans more than 12,000 square feet and will be a showroom for electric vehicles.
Williamsburg鈥檚 retail corridors have stayed busy during the pandemic, and the area鈥檚 鈥渞elatively young, relatively wealthy鈥 residents also were part of the allure for Rivian, said Ken Copeland, partner and chief investment officer at Flank, the developer of 360 Wythe.
