Atlantic Center To Lose Major Tenant
Brownstoner
After sixty years in business, consumer electronics retailer Circuit City announced on Saturday that its attempts to find a buyer had failed and that it would close all of its 567 stores as part of the company's liquidation. One of those stores happens to be in the Atlantic Center, Forest City's mall overlooking the site of its proposed Atlantic Yards project. The Atlantic Center store is on the second floor of the mall and won't be easy to fill in this environment.
NoLandGrab: The State of NY is already the Atlantic Center Mall's largest tenant; maybe we can move in a few more State agencies to bail out Bruce Ratner's flailing mall.
