Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are on the hunt for a new base in Manhattan.
The sisters - who are currently filming in the Hamptons, where they are opening a Dash store - reportedly looked at a 5,500 square foot five-storey corner property in Soho last week with plans for a huge "full-concept Kardashian lifestyle experience."
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column that the sisters want to turn the first two floors of the building into a flagship Dash store, with the other three storeys being used to house offices for the family businesses.
The whole building is available to rent for $2 million a year from Jack Terzi of JTRE, who bought it for $15 million in May.
The real estate mogul and his broker personally gave the group a tour of the building.
However, the property may not be as private as the sisters could hope and could attract a lot of paparazzi attention thanks to 80-foot-long wraparound windows.
One source said: "Some 300 photographers and fans were crowding the building en masse while they were checking it out.
"They were pulling out their cellphone cameras and crowding them to try and get a shot."
The Kardashians currently have a Dash store at a nearby Soho location, as well as boutiques in Los Angeles and Miami, and the pop-up store in the Hamptons.

Tilda Swinton only makes movies with people she likes.
The 'Snowpiercer' actress worked on a number of projects with director Derek Jarman - including 'Aria', 'Caravaggio' and 'The Last of England' when she was first beginning her career and the fun she had on set in the early days quickly made her realise work was at its most enjoyable if she got on well with the cast and crew.
She said: "I first started making films with Derek Jarman in England in the 1980's.. we were very close friends and we made 7 films together over the nine years before he died in 1994. I learned very early on that filmmaking is amongst the most fun things that can be done in a group, in the cold and the rain in the middle of the night when the food has run out.. so ever since then, I have chosen the people first above every other element.. life is too short to be working alongside people you don't like A LOT for years on end..(sic)"
The 53-year-old actress also admitted she likes arranging props in a rude manner, and is always amused when directors don't notice, such as when she and Brad Pitt were shooting 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' with David Fincher.
Discussing an interesting filming experience in a Reddit Q and A session, she said: "The time when Fincher failed to notice that BP and I had arranged two potatoes and a carrot in a specific configuration on the kitchen table we were sitting at.. and had to have it pointed out to him at the END of a take..(sic)"

Channing Tatum spread a skin disease around his family.
The '22 Jump Street' actor loves being outdoors, but a recent camping trip saw him catch poison oak, with the itchy rash quickly spreading to his wife Jenna Dewan Tatum and their daughter Everly, 12 months.
Speaking in an interview given in April, Jenna said: "We're going to the [MTV] Movie Awards tonight, but I have to rethink my dress.
"After this I'm heading to the dermatologist because my husband decided to go camping and bring back Poison Oak--the perks of living with a man who loves to be outdoors!
"We're a family of poison oak at the moment. We'll be really sexy on the red carpet tonight."
The 33-year-old actress is a doting mother to Everly, but insists it is important for the little girl to fit into her parents' lives, rather than them changing theirs to suit their daughter.
She told DuJour magazine: "Kids are life-transformative, but they should fit into your life.
"You don't want to feel resentful for forgetting about a whole part of yourself. It's tough learning how to balance and multitask; it's a lot of balls to juggle. That's been the biggest learning curve of this year for sure."

Oscar Pistorius has been declared fit to stand trial.
The paralympian's murder case has been on hold since May 20 while he underwent medical evaluation, but a psychological report
has ruled he did not have a mental disorder when he killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Four appointed psychiatrists had to decide whether he was "capable of appreciating the wrongfulness of his act" or "criminally responsible" for his behaviour at the time of the shooting.
Both prosecution and defence lawyers have accepted the findings and the trial resumes in Pretoria, South Africa, today (30.06.14).
The athlete has denied deliberately murdering the model in February last year, insisting he acted in self-defence in the mistaken belief she was an intruder, and his lawyers had argued he was suffering from an anxiety disorder at the time of the incident.
Today, the court will hear from Dr. Gerry Versfeld who amputated Pistorius' legs and he will discuss the impact of the disability on the athlete.
The defence is expected to finish presenting its evidence in the next few days.
If found guilty of murder, Pistorius could face life in jail, or 15 years in prison if the court finds him guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Miley Cyrus has made a shrine for her late pet dog Floyd.
The 21-year-old star spent sunday afternoon (29.06.14) making colourful necklaces in memory of her Alaskan Klee Kai - who passed away after being attacked by a coyote in April - and shared photos of her work on Instagram, which included a black and white design spelling out Floyd.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer wrote on the picture sharing site: "Making Floyd jewlzzzzz all day."
In another caption she said: "I can make wealllly pwetttttty jewelry & faces".
On Saturday (28.06.14), Miley shared a snap of the shrine and thanked her fans for sending their own "powerful" tributes to the late pup.
She said: "Thank you to everyone for making my Floyd shrine so beautiful and special. The energy around the alter is so powerfully full of love."
"He is so loved and loves you all right back. Without you I would never have these beautiful Floyd stuffed animals that make me happy everyday cause I can hold him... these flowers remind me of his wittle soul."
Meanwhile, the 'We Can't Stop' hitmaker welcomed a Rough Collie named Emu Coyne into her large family of dogs earlier this week, but insists he won't ever replace her beloved Floyd.
She shared another cute snap of her new pet pooch cuddling up to her on Instagram which she accompanied with the caption: "Time to start making Emu accounts smilers. He's here and here to stay. I welcomed Emu Coyne Cyrus into the family a couple days ago. Been keepin him a secret cause sometimes I'm weird like that.
"It's taken some time to be ready for this next step and loving again. There will never be anyone like Floyd. There was a bond that was so deep it's irreplaceable but that's not what I am trying to do. Never will I replace Floyd and that's something I had to take time to understand."
Emu joins Miley's three other canines, Mary Jane, a Pitt Bull, Happy, a Rottweiler-Beagle cross, and Bean, a Chihuahua mix.

Nicki Minaj was convinced she was "about to die" recently.
The 'Super Bass' hitmaker stunned the audience at the BET Awards last night (29.06.14) with her revelation as she picked up the prize for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and claimed that, despite her health scare, she didn't want to ask for help in case it became public.
She said: "The other day, literally, I didn't tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn't even wanna call the ambulance because I thought, 'Well, if I call an ambulance, it's gonna be on TMZ.'"
The rapper then broke the tension with a smile and added: "And it made me realise, I don't care anymore what anybody gotta say. I'mma do me! I'mma do me!"
The 'Pills N Potions' rapper went on to make an apparent slight against fellow nominee Iggy Azalea by stressing that she writes all her own material.
She said: "My point is, what I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj, is when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it. No shade."
Elsewhere at the ceremony - which was hosted by Chris Rock and took place at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles - Beyonce won three awards, but was not at the ceremony to pick up her 2014 FANdemonium award, Best Female R&B/Pop Artist and Best Collaboration for 'Drunk in Love' with husband Jay Z - while Pharrell Williams and August Alsina each took home two trophies.
Pharrell - who kicked off the event with a performance of 'Come Get It Bae' with Missy Elliott - took home Best Male R&B/ Pop Artist and Best Video for 'Happy', while August won Viewers Choice Award for 'I Luv This'," his collaboration with Trinidad James.
Picking up the first award, he said: "I represent the struggle. This award is not for me, it's for the people."
'12 Years a Slave' swept the board in the movie category, taking Best Movie and Best Actor and Actress for stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong'o.
Lionel Richie was honoured with a lifetime achievement award.
Other performers at the ceremony - which were established by the Black Entertainment Television network to recognise the achievements of African Americans and other minorities in music, acting, sports, and other fields of entertainment - included John Legend, Chris Brown, and Robin Thicke.

Lou Reed left a fortune of over $30 million when he died.
Robert Gotterer, the former manager of the 'Walk on the Wild Side' hitmaker - who died of liver disease last October aged 71 - was appointed to oversee the star's estate in November and reported to Manhattan Surrogate's Court last week that he has so far collected $20,379,169 in "money and other property".
The huge sum doesn't include the gifts left by the former Velvet Underground singer to his family, nor does it include life insurance or retirement accounts.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the funds are likely to be from Lou's copyright and publishing interests as, in his will, he directed his long-time associate to treat them as his own.
According to the will, the rocker's wife, performance artist Laurie Anderson, will receive $15 million from the money collected by Gotterer and his sister, Margaret Reed Weiner, will receive $5 million.
At the court hearing, the manager - who started working for Lou until 1970 - asked for him and a co-executor to be awarded $220,000 in fees.
The 'Perfect Day' hitmaker's attorney James Purdy filed documents stating executors will submit a full inventory of his client's assets by January 2015.
In his will, Lou left his $7 million New York penthouse apartment, $1.5 million Hamptons holiday home and personal property -- including jewellery, clothing, art, cars, boats and his touring company, Sister Ray Enterprises -- to his wife, and gave $500,000 to his sister to care for their elderly mother.

Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender partied until 4am at Glastonbury festival.
The A-list actors stunned revellers with their hard partying on Saturday night (28.06.14) in scenes reminiscent of Bradley's hit movie, 'The Hangover'.
The Oscar-nominated stars partied into the early hours of Sunday morning (29.06.14) in the Shangri La area of Worthy Farm at the music festival after watching a rocking performance by headliners Metallica.
An eyewitness told The Sun newspaper: "The boys were out to enjoy themselves big time. After midnight on Saturday, they made their way to Shangri La and then on to The Rabbit Hole. Revellers couldn't believe their eyes as they were dancing and stayed in for a couple of hours.
"They kept moving when people realised who they were but it was pretty late. Most people were too drunk to care and didn't hassle them too much."
Earlier in the evening, Bradley, 39, was seen among the 100,000-plus crowd enjoying performances by Metallica, Jack White and Lana Del Rey.
The 'American Hustle' star arrived at Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England on Friday (27.06.14) with his pal, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.
Bradley's girlfriend Suki Waterhouse, 22, wasn't by his side at this year's festival.
She wrote on Instagram last week: "#GLASTONBURY reminiscing. So sad I'm not going this year.. rave on beautiful ravers!!!!!! (sic)"

Robin Thicke made a public apology to his estranged wife at the BET Awards last night (29.06.14).
The 37-year-old singer, who split from Paula Patton after nine years of marriage in February, dedicated his performance at the ceremony at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live to his estranged spouse.
Taking to the stage, he said: "Good evening, my name is Robin Thicke. I'd like to dedicate this song to my wife, and say, 'I miss you, and I'm sorry.' This is called 'Forever Love.' "
At the end of the performance, an old picture of the couple - who have four-year-old son Julian together - flashed up on the big screen with the word 'Paula' written in huge letters above.
The evening's host Chris Rock later mocked the morose tone the 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker's music has taken since he split from his spouse.
He said: "He's singing like she don't know him. I miss the other song, the one that sounded like Marvin Gaye."
Robin has named his forthcoming new album 'Paula' and has admitted every track on the record is inspired by the 38-year-old actress.
He said: "Obviously all the songs were about her or about how I feel about her. A lot of songwriters have done this kind of thing before. They won't tell you in the title or they'll be suggestive...I was just like, 'There's no reason to hide who this is about.' It's all about her."
The couple split following rumours Robin was propositioning other women.
The 'Get Her Back' hitmaker wore his wedding ring to his album launch party in Los Angeles last week (26.06.14), but Paula did not attend.
