National Chains Coming to Atlantic Near Court and Smith

The Real Deal reports: "A lot of the chains are going to leave Montague Street for Court and Atlantic, where they get far more exposure and where there's better transportation and parking," predicted [developer David] Walentas."

According to The Real Deal, Walentas said either Urban Outfitters or a Loehmann's department store will take over the first two floors of the Independence Savings Bank. Just down the street at Smith and Atlantic, Boymelgreen is said to be "leaning toward leasing to a high-end national restaurant chain to complement the building's 93-room boutique hotel."

Developer Mark Chemtov is looking to bring in a national furnishings chain such as Restoration Hardware or Pottery Barn to his project, a seven-floor luxury building on the site of a former Mobil station between Smith and Boerum Place.
