Muss Buy: 345 Adams Retail Floors

This is good news for the area. I hear they are pushing away typical tenants like Staples,Duane Reade and seeking something better. Certain a top spot for APPLE. Or better clothing store.

12:18 - I believe that would be called sarcasm

Barney's COOP - GREAT CALL! If I could only shop in one store and had unlimited income that would be it! Would also not be opposed to any of the various home stores that you have to trek into Manhattan for (Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, etc.). Also, ifs there a Sephora in Brooklyn anywhere?

"Muss Development has officially sealed the deal...." When did this go through ULURP? Two years ago?

My prediction is that Muss will look for tenants that will cater to hotel guests.

"$5.77 million"

Steal, no?

Hotels guests...judges and lawyers from the nearby courthouses....brooklyn heights residents....what's the difference? They clearly intend to cater to a more upscale demographic than the demo that the Fulton Mall currently caters to.

It's only a question of time at this stage before Fulton Mall upgrade (a la H&M). After all, I think that area is rapidly approaching a 'critical mass' or wealth.

Q: "Hotels guests...judges and lawyers from the nearby courthouses....brooklyn heights residents....what's the difference?"

A: If Muss can keep more of his guest's dollars in establishments that rent from him, he creates a synergy that is more financially benefitial to himself, as opposed to dollars spent on Montague or Smith Street or in Manhattan. That's the difference.

3:58, agreed, except that in order for those businesses to be successful he needs the 50,000 folks that live and work in the immediate vicinity that make in excess of $100k a year to support those businesses, not just the 500 or so guests that are at the Marriott at any given time. Not one or the other...both.
