Men's Warehouse expands in Flatbush, Brooklyn

Kings County is getting its second Men's Warehouse as national retailers continue to take the borough as a serious place to do business. The chain signed a lease for 9,000 square feet of space at the Triangle Junction Shopping Center in the Flatbush neighborhood. The center’s tenants include Target, Applebee’s, David’s Bridal and Payless Shoes. According to the Real Deal the project is now 100 percent occupied.

The other Men’s Warehouse in Brooklyn is in the Atlantic Center Mall and there are five in Manhattan.

The 300,000 square foot Triangle Junction opened in April, 2008. 225,000 square feet of that space houses a two-level Target, which is the retailer’s largest store ever.

The transformation of the area surrounding the development has been amazing. The center sits at Nostrand and Flatbush Avenues. Back in 2000 (or so) a developer planned to create a $70 million shopping center with Kmart as the anchor. When Kmart went bankrupt in 2002, Target stepped in to take its place. The amount foot traffic in this area is huge. Brooklyn College is around the corner, the 2/5 trains stop outside the center and a number of bus lines intersect here. I am confident Men's Warehouse made the right choice in continuing to invest in Brooklyn.
