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? 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?

This is great news. This neighborhood is in desperate need for a good supermarket…TJ’s will be a welcome addition..but it will always be swamped, so an additional supermarket on the other side of atlantic will be great
btw, that brickwork looks awful.
all of it doesn’t even match.
I can’t imagine that any gourmet store will be able to compete with sahadi’s great pricing…accept of course, sahadi’s.
well hundred years might be rounding up slightly. who knows.
citarella seems like a good guess…
Nope. Sahadi’s could indeed move to a new locations, but Sahadi’s website says “since 1948′ on the main page.
isnt this where Trader Joe’s is going? Or is Tj’s going to the adjacent large retail space down the street atlantic (@ clinton) a block across from sahadis.
citarella only goes back to 1912… dang!
given my luck, it’s probably an A&P
why open another sahadi’s blocks away from the original?
