What Sort of Retail Will 470 Vanderbilt Get?

As reported by several outlets over the past couple of days, retail spaces are being marketed in 470 Vanderbilt, the war horse on Vanderbilt between Atlantic and Fulton that’s in the process of getting spruced up and will house the HRA within the next year as well as other, private-sector office tenants. The location, obviously, is quite close to Barclays Center, and one of the brokers involved, Daniel Blumberg of GFI Realty Services, told us that he hopes to land retail tenants that will appeal to arena-goers; residents of Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Prospect Heights; and tenants of the building and their visitors. “We’re definitely reaching out to food retailers,” says Blumberg, who added that he would like to see a version of “Eataly, but on a smaller scale.” The two spaces being marketed are a 7,150-square-foot corner space and a much larger, 14,000-square-foot space that’s mid-block and not connected to the corner space.
