Tenant wanted at Triangle Sports building
Eye On Real Estate: Flatbush Avenue property's previous owner spurned Hooters, sold to other suitors
What comes next for the Triangle Sports Building, where Hooters got turned down before it was sold to a pair of investors who are both named Benjamin? A year later, it’s still too soon to know.
“With certain trophy properties like this, there are some specific types of businesses that can afford it,” said David Rosenberg of brokerage RKF, who was hired in late summer to find a tenant for Triangle, which is at 182 Flatbush Ave. across from Barclays Center.
The wedge-shaped building has signage that’s visible from three sides – which is factored into the rent. So it would work best for a big restaurateur with multiple operations or a retailer like Nike, Reebok or Puma, a tenant “that clearly has drawing power, puts a value on the branding opportunity and caters to the frequenters of the area,” he said.
