Barney's Looking for Co-op Space in Cobble Hill

The first thing we thought about when we read the opening paragraph of yesterday’s Crain’s article dropping the big news that Barney’s was eyeing Cobble Hill for its first Brooklyn location of the Barney’s Co-Op was the new Two Trees rental building at 200 Atlantic Avenue. And then, sure enough, further down in the piece: “The company would not provide details, but real estate insiders speculate that Barneys will take space on Atlantic Avenue, the thoroughfare that is already home to upscale clothier Steven Alan and home decorator Jonathan Adler.” The retail space at 200 Atlantic would make perfect sense, in our humble opinion. Or maybe they’ll take over the lease from Urban Outfitters, which clearly ain’t working out too well.
