Williamsburg to take a bite of the Apple?
An ever-growing Williamsburg may need to make room for a few Geniuses – Apple Geniuses, that is.
The North Brooklyn nabe will soon be home to the borough’s first Apple store, according to the New York Post. The tech giant has reportedly signed a lease for a 20,000-square-foot space at 247 Bedford Avenue, just blocks from the Bedford Avenue L station, where businesses like Kings Pharmacy and The Bagel Store once stood.
The building – purchased for $66 million in 2012 – is currently owned by Red Sky Capital and Waterbridge Capital. According to the Post, the landlords were represented in the transaction by Lee NYC managing principal Peter Braus while Crown Retail Services and Open Realty’s Chris DeCrosta represented Apple.
