Commercial Rents Rise Near Barclays Site
All About Fifth
According to the Park Slope Patch, commercial rents near the Barclays Center have doubled over the past few months and vacant spaces are filling up fast.
This certainly seems like good news for properties near Flatbush Avenue and there is plenty of evidence that the arena is attracting businesses to vacant spaces on the northern end of Fifth Avenue.
The question is, will these rent increases make their way south along Fifth, towards Union Street and, if so, can stores, bars and restaurants make money under these circumstances?
NoLandGrab: Sure, if they're artisanal mom 'n' pops like McDonald's and Pizza Hut..
