What will replace Blockbuster on Court Street - got $24K?

Josh Guttman | February 24, 2007 

The vacant Blockbuster on Court Street has already been the subject of several Brooklyn blog posts, but there doesn’t seem to be much movement in the large space. Rumor has it that the landlord is asking $24,000/month in rent which includes two levels, one below ground. With such a large space and rent, there is a strong possibility that a chain will move in, but I have some other ideas for ways the neighborhood could benefit from a local establishment:

    1. A mixed-use cafe, book store, evening arts/performance space with a killer sound system, ie: the SouthPaw of Carroll Gardens
    2. A high end sports club like Equinox or Sports Club LA to supplement NYSC and YMCA
    3. A Kidville - country club for NYC/Brooklyn children
