Associated Supermarket on Nostrand Avenue (at Sullivan Place)

Diana Richardson dropped some news at the CB9 meeting tonight. The Associated Supermarket on Nostrand Avenue lost its lease. It's apparently located in a spot that is zoned R7-1.

So, @whynot_31, let the speculation commence. (Now maybe someone can convince TPTB to construct a stand-alone Trader Joe's?)

Church at 525 St Marks (near Franklin) listed as development site.

http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/19912418/525-Saint-Marks-Ave-Brooklyn-NY/

I have mostly been watching 1 story structures to "see them fall and then rise". It seems two story structures on large lots near people with lots of disposable income are also at risk.
