L'Forma Delivers the Finishes for Dossier's First NYC Boutiques

Construction Management

New York, NY — L'Forma is proud to announce the completion of Dossier's first brick-and-mortar boutiques in New York City — the perfume house's NoLita flagship at 242 Elizabeth Street and its location at Queens Center Mall. Serving as construction manager, L'Forma led the buildout of both spaces, bringing the fast-growing French fragrance brand's first physical retail vision to life across two very different New York settings.

A Flagship on Scent Row

Dossier's NoLita flagship sits in the heart of New York's "Scent Row," designed by creative firm Malherbe Paris and brought to life in partnership with retail execution firm Rekon Retail. Conceived as a "fragrance library" that guides visitors through the brand's scent families, the space blends Dossier's French heritage with NoLita's laid-back, minimalist character. As construction manager, L'Forma coordinated every trade and detail of the buildout — delivering the clean, elevated, gallery-like environment that anchors Dossier's immersive perfume experience.

Two Locations, One Standard

Beyond the flagship, L'Forma also managed the construction of Dossier's Queens Center Mall location — bringing the same coordination and craftsmanship to a high-traffic mall environment as to the boutique flagship. Delivering a cohesive build across a marquee flagship and a busy retail center, on schedule and to a single standard of quality, reflects L'Forma's strength in managing retail construction across very different site conditions.

"Dossier's first stores are all about experience, so every detail of the build had to support that — elevated, effortless, and exactly on brand. Working alongside Rebekah Kondrat and the Rekon Retail team made it a genuine pleasure; Rebekah is always on point and ten steps ahead, which is exactly what you want on a fast-moving retail opening. Together we delivered both the NoLita flagship and Queens Center to the standard Dossier deserved. It's exciting to help a brand make its first mark in physical retail." — Peter Heretakis, Project Manager, L'Forma

The project reflects L'Forma's full range — from construction management for emerging brands entering retail to specialty finishing for established names like Louis Vuitton, Kith, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
