NEW YORK CITY-The Bloomberg administration made it official with an RFP issued Monday afternoon seeking a developer or commercial business to bring retail into 37,000 square feet at the Brooklyn Municipal Building, 210 Joralemon St. in Downtown Brooklyn. It’s in line with the city’s plan to reduce its office footprint by 1.2 million square feet over the next four years while selling or leasing the vacated space.
The 37,000 square feet at 210 Joralemon is currently occupied by the city’s Department of Finance, which will relocate elsewhere. “We are looking for ways to spur growth in retail corridors in all five boroughs, and Downtown Brooklyn represents one of our best opportunities to do that,” Deputy Mayor Robert Steel says in a release. “By turning to the private sector to transform this prime space at the historic Brooklyn Municipal Building, we’ll make progress on our goals of adding to the vitality of the area and creating jobs for residents.”
