Barneys coming to Cobble Hill?
Upscale department store Barneys New York is planning to open its first Brooklyn location, and they’re checking out real estate in our very own Cobble Hill.
Crain’s: Barneys’ plan to open its first store in the city in five years is another sign that it’s on more solid footing. The chain, which has three Co-Op stores in Manhattan, along with its Madison Avenue flagship, typically needs between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet for a Co-Op. The company would not provide details, but real estate insiders speculate that Barneys will take space on Atlantic Avenue, the thoroughfare that is already home to upscale clothier Steven Alan and home decorator Jonathan Adler.
“Brooklyn is a logical move for them,” says Laura Pomerantz, a principal at PBS Realty.
