Apple will open its third Manhattan retail store at SL Green Realty Corp.‘s retail joint venture at West 34th Street.

“The team had to negotiate more than six separate transactions and explore the outer reaches of the New York City building code with help of several consultants,“ Andrew Mathias, SL Green’s chief investment officer, said on Tuesday during a third-quarter conference call with analysts.

The deal for the Apple Store west of Fifth Avenue began with discussions of a 50-by-100 square-foot floor plan but the store will end up being 50 to 75 feet by 100 feet.

Apple’s Manhattan locations are known for their innovative designs, including a glass cube entryway at Apple’s underground Fifth Avenue location and a glass staircase at the computer maker’s Soho store.
