News Apple Won't Open a Store in Brooklyn
Posted by Henry Stewart on Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 1:07 PM
In a speech, Marty said:
I’ve known for some time that Apple wasn’t coming here, and I think they’re making a big mistake. But even though we weren’t able to attract Steve Jobs to 210 Joralemon we’re getting something better—actual jobs, 64 full-time construction jobs and 114 permanent jobs.
At 210 Joralemon Street, which currently houses the city's department of finance, a developer will build 49,000 square feet of retail space, which a source tells the Post will include an upscale restaurant (so Marty can't be too devastated). The borough president thinks more of Joralemon and Court could be opened to retail. "How about Crate and Barrel, Nordstrom Rack, Saks-Off-Fifth-Avenue?" he suggested. "It’s all possible.”
