Once the Bossert’s clientele start spending money in the Heights, would-be newcomer tenants will vie

The unveiling of the new Bossert Hotel, purchased from the Watchtower by developer David Bistricer in 2012, is still a year away. However that s not stopping brokers, merchants and business leaders around Montague Street from being very bullish about the building s evolution.
"We stay open until midnight, and night-time golfclub travel case business golfclub travel case is slow," said Kheled Al Sahybi, co-owner of Heights Deli Convenience at 89 Montague. golfclub travel case "If I make $200 a day from hotel guests, that will really help."
Montague Street boasts an eclectic mix of merchants, including those who own the buildings their shops are located in, like upscale clothier Tango at 145 Montague and gourmet food purveyor Lassen Hennigs at 114 Montague. National tenants including makeup seller MAC and Banana Republic share the street with eateries golfclub travel case from a Chipotle golfclub travel case fast-food chain to long-time local Armando's.
Once the Bossert's golfclub travel case clientele start spending money in the Heights, would-be newcomer tenants will vie for spaces on the street – and drive up rents "extremely quickly" by 25% or maybe more, said Bill Ross, director golfclub travel case of development golfclub travel case marketing at Brown Harris Stevens/Halstead.
Yeah, Area Kids (the toy store) is ok but the selection is *extremely* limited. It s fine when you need any old gift for a 5 year old but when you re looking for something specific odds are slim that they have it.
Arch, I know we currently lack those things. I was hoping the Bossert would go residential and the extra residents would create a tipping point of demand for these things. Instead, the Bossert being a hotel will apparently create demand for a different kind of retail restaurants and high-end clothing. :-/
What a bunch of curmudgeons. Montague St hasnt been a family oriented street in my lifetime (and I am over 40). So now an upscale hotel is opening, bringing back a gorgeous historical building to its intended use and you people still can only find negative things golfclub travel case to complain about.
PB, I miss the old Heights bookstores, too. Do you ever get down to the P.S. Bookshop in DUMBO? (I just wanted golfclub travel case to put in a plug for them, as I love used bookstores, and I love going down there and seeing a couple of the folks from the late Heights Books.)
Maybe the hotel will start to attract shops selling postcards and tourist trinkets. Or electronics stores like you find in Times Square. Given the proximity to the Promenade, golfclub travel case I m kind of surprised golfclub travel case we don t have these already.
I doubt the hotel will make a significant impact on the viability of local businesses. Except, in the minds or the realtors and landlords, who have already golfclub travel case exaggerated the income potential of the area beyond reality. They think Montague golfclub travel case will sustain a 25% increase in rent, bollocks. A few hundred hotel guests that will spend a lot of their time in Manhattan, are not going to spend that kind of money here.
Sadly, I think Sammie and his pet shop won t be here too much longer. The board of that building already rent to him at below-market rates With the hotel opening across the street I bet they see dollar signs. golfclub travel case :-/
There s a truly world-class and award-winning bookstore on Court, BookCourt golfclub travel case , just a couple of blocks south of Atlantic, golfclub travel case which is an independent store, not part of a chain. They offer great service and selection, have readings and much more.
