An empty sight in Brooklyn Heights
Former Starbucks Landlord Says Barista Chain Sought New, Smaller Store Footprint
We see it glowing on our night walks through Brooklyn Heights.
The lights are on, but nobody’s home at 112 Montague St., where Starbucks said sayonara 13 months ago and there’s nary a new tenant in sight.
First-floor windows that stretch almost the entire length of the two-story retail building’s 25-foot frontage are papered with “Building For Lease” signs declaring Greg Bartlett of Massey Knakal Realty Services is the exclusive agent.
Between the signs there’s space to peer in and see overhead fixtures illuminating the vacant space, with its tile floors and green-painted walls left over from the java joint’s long stay there.
