Empty Retail Store Fronts in Everbank Building

[JaxResident]

Has anyone heard of businesses moving in there anytime soon?

With the number of employees in that area from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Fidelity, LPS, and Everbank you would think those spaces would have been leased to a coffee shop, dry cleaners, etc.

There are thousands of employees working on Riverside Avenue. I would suspect that the rents on those empty store fronts to be very expensive.....

Everbank has a building?  Which building is that?

I can't tell if you are joking.

[tufsu1]

the retail spaces aren't very deep....so they are not conducive for most uses

[JaxResident]

No, I wasn't joking.

The Everbank Building on Riverside Avenue.....next to the old abandoned fire station across from the Brooklyn neighborhood.

I think he was directing that at Overstreet.

Oh yeah,  that building. I moved out of that office area around 1995. I'm still calibrated for that to be the old marine dealer and bumper car stop for errant drivers on Riverside.  There used to be a sandwich shop across the street with a good inexpensive burger.

The thought that a internet cyberspace entity has a building is kind of odd if you let your mind wander. Time to go home.

I'd love to see a California Pizza Kitchen in that spot.  Nice, well-priced food and not only are there a couple of thousand people working on those two blocks but the trolley drops off right across the street.

I love that space as well. when I spoke with them last they wanted close to $30 per sq ft.

This should not be a surprise; though there are possibly thousands of people who work in that area (a couple of thousand or more), it's not like they are going to hang around after work or even go put their clothes in the cleaners during lunch time.  There needs to be some residents in that area (and not just Riverside but much closer (Brooklyn, Downtown, etc.) who could also become customers for potential businesses there.

That space has been there since the building/garage opened. As far as I know, no one has ever leased those spaces yet. They may be small, but have you seen the spaces some Deli's and restaurants fit to in NY city?

[thelakelander]

At $30/sf foot, it will be empty for years to come.

The space really isn't that big of a deal.  Independent delis/sandwich shops, and even floor models for quick-to-go franchises could fit in those spaces.  You could pull decent revenue per sq ft in those locations with weekday breakfast/lunch traffic(especially with a Marriot and more commercial space going in across the street)  But for the rent they are trying to charge... yeah, good luck with that!!

Dana safety supply should move in give walkers, cyclists, joggers, muggers and runners the wares to equip themselves and couple their presence with pepper spray, reflector decals, tazers etc.
