Update on the Smith: Retail, Move-Ins Coming

The end (beginning?) is in sight for the much-delayed hotel/condo project the Smith, and the building’s ground-floor retail spaces have just hit the market. For over a year the development’s marketers have said the space will probably be filled by a high-end grocer like Gourmet Garage or Dean & Deluca, and the broker in charge of leasing the space says that’s still true. “We’re hoping to get something like a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s,” says Petar Videv of A&I Broadway Realty, apparently unaware of the latter’s plans just up the block. Videv says construction on the project should be finished sometime in January, and that the hotel and condo are expected to open then. While it seems doubtful that Trader Joe’s would take space so close to its planned store at Atlantic and Court, or that Whole Foods would be satisfied with 7,800 square feet, it does seem to be a reasonable fit for a store like Gourmet Garage.

Maybe I’m the only one but in terms of the look of the building – when it was being skinned – I was like – Oh my god this is going to be the ugliest building ever created, but now that it is more or less done I kinda think it isnt so bad. – Not attractive but not offensive – sort of just ‘there’. Not high praise but it was looking much worse a few weeks back.
So where’s the update on Court and State? You said you’d “let us know” in a week – a couple of weeks ago.
10:42 AM – that’s a building a couple of blocks away. This is an entirely different building.

Unappealing tacky building. Who’s the architack?
yes, i’m confused.
No, 10:42, that’s at Court and State…
I find it comical that all these guys float the same damn rumor: “rent/buy here! we’re working on getting Whole Foods/Barneys/Apple Store in the retails space. really, it’s pretty much a done deal. just write me a check for 1mm dollars and ask questions later”
Condomania!
