“#Valentino owes $207M for breaking NYC lease, damaging space: suit<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Fashion brand Valentino owes its former landlords more than $207 million for breaking its Fifth Avenue lease nearly a decade early and leaving the place in shambles on its way out, new court papers allege.<\/p>\n

The design house lost a court bid last month to break its lease with its Manhattan landlord, 693 Fifth Owner LLC, by the end of the 2020 \u2014 citing problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The rental-space contract was slated to run through 2029. <\/p>\n

Now 693 Fifth alleges that Valentino \u2014 which was renting four floors of the building \u2014 used the pandemic as a pretext to try to break its lease. The landlord claims that the fashion brand was really just attempting \u201cto mitigate market difficulties the House of Valentino had been suffering since well before the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit from Friday.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Valentino has already signed a new lease for a Manhattan space at 135 Spring St., the court documents claim.<\/p>\n

The landlord highlights in the new filing that Justice Andrew Borrok decided Jan. 27 to toss Valentino\u2019s suit, finding that \u201cno wrongful act of the landlord is alleged to have caused the necessity of this decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Valentino has app<\/a>ealed the ruling.<\/p>\n

The Italian luxury retail and design company\u00a0moved out of the Fifth Avenue building Dec. 31 \u2014 leaving behind major damage on its way out, the court documents add.<\/p>\n

Valentino workers defaced the Venetian Terrazzo marble panels with Carrera chippings that are throughout the space by painting over them and also \u201cleaving sizable holes\u201d in them, the court filing alleges.<\/p>\n

Photos obtained by The Post show white paint sloppily applied to the floors and walls throughout the space and the side of a staircase so damaged with holes that it crumbled onto the stairs.<\/p>\n

The landlord claims that Valentino owes it $15.3 million for the damage and lost rent during repairs, $6.6 million for not paying rent from September through February and another $184 million to cover the duration of the lease, the court papers say. The landlord is also seeking the legals fees it incurred fighting Valentino\u2019s suit.<\/p>\n
