New liquor store at 810 Nostrand, "Simple Syrup"

810 Nostrand, the one on the left @crownheightster

No permits, so perhaps the owner is fixing up some things in order to rent? 

This seems to be the firm that manages/owns the building: http://www.jwasser.com/

However, I could not find any info about the space on the web.


However, I did find...

The Brooklyn Eagle seems to indicate that in 1926, part or all of 810 Nostrand was a bakery:

"German-English speaking preferred, for bakery 810 Nostrand av"

http://bklyn.newspapers.com/newspage/59870698/

According to the NYT, in 1919, 810 Nostrand seems to have hosted a general contractor business:

"Hiram H. Bush. 810 Nostrand Av.
Builder and general contractor, absolutely
reliable; can save you money"

http://www.mocavo.com/The-New-York-Times-November-1-15-1919-Volume-Lxix/492579/296

Storefront has now been made into a "white box", ready for even the most unskilled tenant.

Art gallery. It would be kind of great to get an art gallery here. 

The question is....are people going to just go in and look or are they going to buy.

I might put a postal place there, for all of the people who can't get packages (ie Amazon) delivered to their building or workplace.

UPS store is open and operating on Bergen (and UPS is already dropping undeliverable packages there). Its going to be hard to compete with that.

It is the right size and location for a coffee shop, but it would compete with Lula.

It would be a great location for a fancy nail salon. Like, a really fancy one with a spa-like environment. I'm thinking the ambiance of Honey on Vanderbilt. 

I have the scoop via Mike De Zaya's website, http://crownheights2020.com/. 810 Nostrand Avenue will become "810 Wine and Whiskey," an upsale wine and spirits store. The website does not have any additional information on whether this is a 100% de Zayas production, or if it is in more of the partnership model a la Deck Salon. 

So, exciting. And I think that space is going to be good for a wine store. 

I'm interested in seeing how long it takes him to get permits.

I might put a postal place there, for all of the people who can't get packages (ie Amazon) delivered to their building or workplace.

There already is a postal place across the street

I wonder how the wine store on St Johns Place and Nostrand will react?

Does it have bullet resistant plexiglass throughout?    

...810 Wine and Whiskey seems like it will be a boutique place that closes reasonably early, and does most of its business when people are returning home from work. 

BTW, Fresh Direct now delivers wine and liquor. 

Hm, that deZayas website also mentions this - which sounds too good to be true. Anyone heard any rumors about it? I remember that in the beginning, two saints was supposed to have a theater in its basement. 

I saw that, and it has a very similar description to Global Square:

http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/37947/893-dean-st-to-become-arts-performance-space-located-btwn-grand-and-classon/p1

Despite receiving an influx of cash from the City Council, Global Square remains stuck.   So, I have reached out to them to see whether they are becoming Intermission.

Greetings (Global Square)-

I've been watching the Dean St project for a while.   Is it still progressing?    Is it becoming something called "Intermission"?

Thanks

(whynot)

Dear (whynot)-

The project has been delayed indefinitely. Intermission is not connected with Global Square. 

Warmly,

gsquare

...so, the two things are not related and we will see if Intermission suffers a fate similar to Global Square, or become a huge success.

 

People inside 810, working!

Here's a scoop -- "Simple Syrup," a contemporary gifts store, will open at 810 Nostrand Ave TOMORROW, December 1. There is an opening night party scheduled. It looks like this will be a pop-up store and then the fancy wine/liquor store will open in Spring 2016 (I bet that is when a liqour sales license will come into effect).

That location does have lots of foot traffic.

...a popup makes sense.

Mike D confirmed that he hopes to keep the space filled with various popup stores until a license for a liquor store is obtained.

Said liquor store will be tentatively named Simply Syrup.  

Permit pending:   https://www.tran.sla.ny.gov/servlet/ApplicationServlet?pageName=com.ibm.nysla.data.publicquery.PublicQuerySuccessfulResultsPage&validated=true&serialNumber=1290554&licenseType=L

Huh. To my knowledge, CB8 has not yet been asked for their support.

I wonder if the SLA will bother to look for proof he went in front of the CB.

BTW, here is a link to Two Saints, also run by the same firm.

Lic granted.   opening soon.

Sounds hoity toity.

Do you think it will be as hoity as Winot (located at Franklin and Lincoln)?

...the space is about the same size.

The De Zayas empire is expanding quite quickly. Soon he'll have 3 bagel shops in roughly the same neighborhood.
