While I like a lot of the new buildings in brownstone Brooklyn the one at 419 7th Avenue (at 14th Street) is simply atrocious. On top of the design the retail space has been vacant since I moved to the neighborhood in 2010. The space has remained vacant despite the flurry of new business openings on 6th and 7th Avenues in that vicinity. Over the last year alone De Luxe Coffee and the Couleur Cafe have opened within a block of this building. As of this week though there is hopefully some positive news coming for 419 7th. There are Department of Buildings construction notices up and signs in the window that read "Coming Soon for your bathroom." No idea what type of establishment this will be but lets hope its a positive addition to the neighborhood that adds to the vitality of the South Slope.
