Plaintiff seeks to enforce a lease it alleges it entered into with defendant Italian American Museum, and to preserve what it claims was a right to purchase the leased premises from the former owner, defendant Stabile. The lease contained two conditions precedent: approval by the Museum’s mortgage bank and delivery of the lease (see e.g. Broadway Corp. v. Alexander’s Inc., 46 NY2d 506, 510-512 [1979]), neither of which occurred. Accordingly, the lease never came into existence.
