King of Cashmere at 1225 Madison

If Madison Avenue could get any tonier, Faith Hope Consolo would be the person to do it. "We're redoing the whole block," the boisterous broker told The Commercial Observer, referring to the Consolo & Aquino assignment at 1225 Madison Avenue. Working with the co-op board, Ms. Consolo decided to take the four existing stores, many of whose leases had expired, and chop them up into six smaller boutiques of roughly 1,000 square feet each, though the two corner stores are larger at 1,500 square feet a piece. "It's very European," Ms. Consolo said. "They're little jewels, it's very jewel-like. It's a little Left Bank."
