3421 Snyder Ave (corner of E 35th), massive 100x100 lot, sells

The sale recorded a few weeks ago, having sold to Hart Dekalb LLC for $1.3 million. A steal considering the massive size of the lot--100x100, abbutting a prewar apt building on an identically sized lot.

I always liked this house because it's got a super classic haunted house vibe. But i ...

3 Victorian wood-frames coming down on Bedford Ave (Lenox and Caton)

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I'd known these 3 victorian houses on Bedford Ave sold last year for a while now--altogether netting something like almost $4 million for the owner, who had apparently own all 3 houses for decades now. I haven't heard of any plans for the site, but had ...

Flatbush popups cont.

I'm starting a new thread here. The first facade of the Martense St pop-ups is completed and it doesn't look half bad.

The popups are coming

This one hits close to home.

Here you have a row of 2-family 20x50 2 story houses. Identical to the landmarked ones on Lefferts ave or E 10th st, which now go for about $1.6m.

Well, surprise surprise, we have no such landmarking here. So an enterprising developer has bought one of these row houses, and plans ...

369 Lenox

369 Lenox, at the corner of Lenox and New York Ave, has sold and is due to be demolished. Perhaps it will be part of the building site next door at New York Ave (which was also a house that was recently demolished).

Sort of a cool looking building. It looks to me like the developer ...

There's finally a cafe southeast of Church and Flatbush: Roger That Cafe

I went in on saturday and they had a ...

hello flatbush

I was walking down flatbush the other day, the 'HELLO FLATBUSH' development is moving up pretty quickly. It looked like it had 4 of the six stories poured. That's pretty fast a lot of the other projects in the neighborhood took about two years to get moving, these guys did it in under a year.

It seems like they're certainly adding a lot of inventory into Flatbush as a whole. I'm a little bummed that for most of these projects the first floors won't be commercial space. Is doing that more complicated?

A Bar Finally Opens near King's Theater

I was expecting there to be like 5 of these by now, but there's finally one, on Flatbush and the corner of Duryea. and it's a tattoo themed (?) bar. formerly just a tattoo parlor, i don't quite understand if it's now literally both? is that even legal?

cake joint?

Spotted in an under-construction store front on Rogers between Church and Martense: a chalkboard for "Cake Ambiance".

The storefront was a bodega until Jan 1.

1350 Rogers ave

I guess I haven't been paying much attention, because there is a giant building going in at 1350 Rogers.

It's not a loss though, previous space was occupied by garages, a few empty lots, and a auto body shop (I think). Here's the streetview pic: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6367192,-73.9509655,3a,75y,102.38h,78.41t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sLZ-0XIzKKTt71N-QS4k_9A!2e0!5s20120601T000000!7i13312!8i6656

Looks like there are some early efforts to being more shopping options across from the Sears on Bedford. Should this actually happen, what retailers would you fine folks like to see offered? I'm pretty darn excited about the possibilities.

Sad Times at the Ballgreen Complex (Lenox rd at Rogers)

McDonalds at Nostrand and Church is no mo. According to FB chatter the landlord raised the rent to $20,000/month.

There are already two chain drug stores and a chain bank at this intersection plus a few supermarkets and dollar stores.

My wife and I speculate that the only thing that can work in that space would be ...

Interesting store

Was on Church and Flatbush this morning and saw a pawn shop, I think it was called Pawn Rite, whose specialty was the pawning, buying and selling of used sneakers. I didn't know how much of a market there is for that although I guess they take jewelry as well. With the rent they must ...
