Commercial/retail developer sought for Empire Stores in DUMBO
A developer is being sought for the long-vacant Empire Stores on the waterfront in DUMBO, according to Regina Myer, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corp.
Myer was giving an update on the progress of the new park at the Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable’s quarterly luncheon Tuesday at the Brooklyn Historical Society.
A request for proposals (RFP) will be issued soon for the commercial and retail development of the 330,000-square-foot structure that Myer estimates has been vacant for 50 years.
