Corner Bakery, Zoe's, Burrito Gallery and now Burger Fi. Who's next in line?

QuoteIn the wake of Burrito Gallery announcing plans to open up a shop at Brooklyn Station, classic burger joint Burger Fi has announced plans to open its second Jacksonville location in the same center.

The restaurant will occupy a 3,000-square-foot space at the front of the building that's under construction along Riverside Avenue, next to the 220 Riverside project.

At first I just thought it was a lousy Photoshop,* but



they actually put their branding on the bun?

*It's still a lousy Photoshop, imo.

Looks like Riverside / Avodale / Brooklyn is 'been there; done that' with the sushi and pizza.

On to gourmet hamburgers!

While we are not too fond of the design, things are looking really good so far. Nothing but good can come from this much activity near the core of DT.

In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

How much retail space is there for all of that?
I would not think Brooklyn would be the ideal neighborhood for an Abercrombie. Actually, I wouldn't think anywhere but inside of a high school boy's delusions would be a good location for an Abercrombie.

I think we're getting away from what's really important: this joint makes you eat their logo. The "BurgerFi" looks like it's sandwiched between tire tracks.

Ah, this all happened when the Landing opened up, we had lots of new restaurants, new shops, and then, they slowly went away. Same thing happened to restaurants in the Riverside Publix area. It will be interesting to see who stays and who realizes they were sold a bag of sand in an hour glass, for when the rents rise, will the people still keep coming?

No one has lived in Brooklyn South of Park street for many years, it will be interesting to see what happens and how this changes 5 points/Riverside as well.

Any news on leasing % in the residential buildings?

I understand some moving to the next great area, but the Riversde/ Publix/ 5 points area seems to be pretty filled up.  I think the landing has separate issues, but probably would have been fine giving that people were living downtown.
