In addition to dropping the news that 30 potential buyers showed up for tours this weekend, Edge developer Jeff Levine revealed this teaser to the audience at the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable yesterday: An Apple store is still a real possibility for the ground-floor retail at the massive Kent Avenue development. “There’s no deal,” Levine said, “But we are talking and they are interested.” He also mentioned that there was interest from some grocery stores.

  1. Schultz is right. It will be a big draw to the neighborhood. Think anything retail that will appeal to hipsters. A coffee shop where people buy a cup and then sit there fragging for an hour or two will do extremely well!!!!!

  2. Great! Now I don’t have to go all the way up to 59th and 5th in Manhattan to see a bunch of geeky losers lining up for days to buy an overhyped new product that will be replaced with a cheaper and more advanced model within months.

  3. Actually THS, it is huge. Do you ever stop by the Apple Stores? They are literally buzzing. For any Mac users in Bklyn, to gain easy access to their genius bar without having to trek into Manhattan is a big plus.

  4. I don’t get why that would be such a huge draw. It’s not like Starbucks or something you need/use on a daily basis. I rarely sit at home and think hmmm, if only I had an Apple Store in my english basement! How convenient would that be?

    On the upside, I suppose it’s a relatively stable retail tenant.
