A developer’s plan to build a mini-shopping center on Atlantic between 3rd and 4th avenues is starting to come to fruition. The first tenant to sign on for Barbara Koz Paley’s Atlantic Gardens, which consists of five storefronts joined together by a 4,000-square-foot backyard garden, is an Aveda salon operator. The business should open in August or September, says Paley, who’s still luring other tenants. One of the spaces is set aside for a restaurant, and Paley would like to see a cafe take the lease for another. The developer thinks a high-end electronics or clothing retailer would probably work best in the final spaces. Two of the storefronts will be open to the public and feature installations this weekend as part of the Atlantic Avenue Artwalk. Click through for a rendering of the project and garden.

  1. I love Boerum Hill. What a cool, little neighbourhood. Reminds me of parts of London.
    I’m in the process of selling my 1br in Chelsea & will definitely be purchasing a 2 br here. does anyone know where I should be looking in Boerum Hill. I really want to be close to BAM & Atlantic Terminal so I can easily transport to my work in Manhattan.

  2. Brilliant & beautiful project. Good for Koz Paley! This stretch of Atlantic desperately needs a bit of change & I’m glad to see her leading the charge. Prices of property on or near this block & especially those close to BAM will greatly stand to benefit from the coming change of the area. Now, only if we could not get Atlantic Yards built, all will be ok.

  3. Cool idea. Don’t know what sort of rent she’s asking — obviously she needs to make a little money — but I hope it’s low enough to attract something a little bit offbeat. An Aveda store/restaurant/cafe/boutique doesn’t really fit the bill. Would love to see a bookstore, but given how hard it is for independents these days she’d probably have to pay THEM to open it up…
