Rite Aid’s take over of Eckerd apparently made the chain’s owners decide that two RIte Aids within a block of each other were maybe a bit redundant, so the former Eckerd space at 9th Street and 5th Avenue is now up for grabs. (The Rite Aid at 10th Street and 5th Avenue is still going strong, though.) The 11,000-square-foot space (big!) will be leased for a 15-year term, according to broker Joel Karasik of NYC Realty, who says there’s been a far amount of interest from “national firms.” Karasik wouldn’t tell us anything else about what sort of user might take the space except that “it definitely won’t be a drug store.” What would you like to see here?

  1. yeah, it’s a really great location. i agree.

    hope that the broker does some good work trying to get something good.

    maybe he’ll take a look at this site for some ideas…

    so STOP TALKING ABOUT BANKS!

  2. it’s truly bizarre to me that people are under the impression south slope–if we can even consider 9th south slope at this point (i realize geographically it is, but people seemto think of south slope in a more socio-economic way)–to have such a dramatically different demographic than north slope. i know many, many people living between 9th and 20th st. that would LOVE to see a trader joes or something useful move in. i think the difference is they are primarily single people, not families, which if you really think about it, just means they probably have more disposable income.

  3. south slope is still very hispanic and it’s so cheap looking a on 5th ave. it could use something more upscale, but agree that it’s tough to picture a decent retailer moving in there.
