Which Foodie Is Coming to Court and State?
Who just signed the retail lease in the new building at the corner of State and Court in Brooklyn Heights?

Who just signed the retail lease in the new building at the corner of State and Court in Brooklyn Heights? That was the question that had members of the audience scratching their heads at last week’s quarterly Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable held at the Brooklyn Historical Society. The corner location, which includes about 2,500 square feet on the ground floor and another 2,500 in the basement, just rented at a record-high $125 a foot after “long and protracted” negotiations, according to Massey Knakal senior partner Tim King. As to who the tenant is, King would only drop the tantalizing clue that it’s a company that’s been in the food production biz for the last hundred years. The two that leapt to our mind—Zabar’s and Di Palo—only go back to the 1930s, so scratch them. An announcement is expected in the next week or two, but we thought if we all put our heads together, maybe we could figure it out. Ideas?
Downtown Rental Developments: Is Two a Trend? [Brownstoner] GMAP
We heard a while back from Mr. Satnick of (jewels by Satnick around the corner) that it was going to be a drug store that was previously located for many years near Borough Hall (can’t remember the name)and closed a few years back.
Charlie Sahadi owns the whole Sahadi’s building, so I can’t imagine he’d move. He’s a great landlord, by the way.
you mean, barzini’s? gosh…they have done amazing things with the upper west side store over the last year.
come on people with the wegman’s guesses….this ain’t that big a space.
wegman’s is like an ikea-sized store practically.
Bazzini’s? They’ve been around since 1886.
I dream of a gigantic Russ and Daughters, opened in 1914, but I’m sure I’m wrong!
lassen and henning?
can’t find date of inception…
Since we’re talking about rounding upward, how about Russ & Daughters, Katz’s deli, or Nathan’s?
Better yet, how about a resurrection of the automat?
I wish Sahadis was moving, as they outgrew their current space about a decade ago.
