  • 100x43 is roughly two lots by local norms, not four, regardless of the frontage. Although the frontage certainly makes it more appealing.

  • Well let me get my pencil out and draw a diagram, Yes 100 X 43 may be 2 residential lots in the middle of the block. but this is a corner building and commercial to boot, and there are 7 storefronts on Nostrand, and as some corner buildings go you get shafted in the backyard department so in this case frontage really does count. Thanks for the dog food donation BTW :salut:

  • Ah, tsarina, it is not my immense need for product that makes me want a big, fancy drugstore -- admittedly, it is the convenience that this location would offer within a block from home. Sometimes I feel like a lazybones and don't want to haul out to Restoration Plaza or St John's or Fulton.

    But you are right. An interesting foodie place or intriguing local Brooklyn artisan would be much preferred to the start of a million chain stores on Nostrand. I'd love for something like Bob & Betty's to come to Nostrand SOON.

  • From your lips to gods ears. The first Foodie deli with good fruits and veggies and healthy snacks gets all my extra spending money. sometimes I;m too tired to schlep over to Franklin. I have begged the Pine Tree people to expand over here.

  • This site is interesting in that its facade landmarked.

    Having the first floor chopped up into tiny storefronts kind of takes away from its visual appeal. For that reason, I hope we get one big entity on the first floor, with nice windows.

  • Little birdie told me the landlord was looking to get a bank or a franchise in the ground floor.
  • Given how much I expect Nostrand to change over the next year or so, I think a bank or other franchise would do well at that location. CPEX is a big enough firm that it is able to handle such clients.
  • stupid question, but what do you mean by franchise in this context? Any store with more than a few locations? So anything from Subway to Duane Reade to Bath and Body Works?
  • Not 100% sure but the sense that I got was a corporate owned multi-store business or an owner/operator of a large traditional franchise like Baskin-Robbins or Subway
  • I am renting the space below that ex "nightclub" (opening a coffee shop in the next couple weeks). The night club is closed for good. Landlord is looking for a new tenant. 
  • gym gym gym gym gym. I mean, I know it's probably not big enough...but please, gods of gentrification and real estate, I would love a gym. 
  • Odiaz, is the landlord the new owner of the site?

    Or, is it the same landlord?

    Funny you mention a Gym would be awesome and the space is HUGE, it legally fits couple hundred. The landlord is the same since June ( thats when I meet him not sure how much longer he was there) and I really like him. Super nice guy very business oriented and cares about his tenants and from what I have spoken to local business owners they also like the guy.

    Sounds like his attempts to sell the property were not successful.

    The second floor is presently listed in CPEX's "office leases" section, which would seem to indicate that they aren't pitching it as a gym.


    Sorry, laura palmer....

    I wonder if these organizers are looking for a home: 


    The neighborhood might approve. 

    They could use the existing nightclub lighting. 

     Oh, the contrasts from the video above....    
  • This is beyond idiotic. Get people in large enough crowd, drunk enough and they'll pay for anything.

    I was thinking that several businesses along Dean Street between Classon and Franklin seem to be embracing the model newguy88 describes.  

    Nostrand and Park isn't too far away...
  • So, last week I saw a ton of sheetrock being moved into the 713-723 "Palace" building at Nostrand and Sterling. Workers said that they were fixing up the place to be rented, and doing a lot of repairs to the basement systems, walls, and ceilings. I think the owner is fixing up the place with hopes of a serious renter.

  • In contrast to the past, the landlord has also hired a reputable real estate firm: Corcoran.

    They may have pushed the landlord to make the renovations as part of agreeing to take the listing.
  • Can we change the heading of this post to 713-723 Nostrand Ave -- The Palace Seriously Seeking Tenants? or something like that? This is a big  property.
  • I'd start a new thread and link this thread for anyone who wants to read our past insights on the address.
  • that's a good idea.
