It just sucks while its happening.<br /><br />Smith Street was super cheap and all the great restaurants came in... ahhh the Renaissance of Smith Street. Then everyone is clamoring to be on Smith Street...rents rise. <br /><br />Then big chains come in to have presence in the hot neighb...hello Starbucks, Mac, LuLu Lemon. These tenants are not price sensitive because they care more about overall profits...maybe not store-by-store profits.<br /><br />Landlords hear that Starbucks is paying $5000 per month...Lulu Lemon is paying $10k. Now every landlord wants "Lulu Lemon" Rents.<br /><br />Shops start closing, and vacancies rise...more supply....so rents need to come down...That's where we are now.<br /><br />Hopefully Smith Street does not turn into the waste land that 7th Ave in Park Slope has become---cell phone, nail salons, realtors. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-43162852651728647262016-12-08T12:39:00.178-05:002016-12-08T12:39:00.178-05:00"How can anyone grow a business other than a ..."How can anyone grow a business other than a bank or a major change under these circumstances, one wonders?"<br /><br />Somehow, everyone, for the entire history of human civilization, has figured it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
