I agree 100% with the author; the EDGE is a joke for a location. So is the Kings Plaza area; it's also the middle of nowhere, no train service, and the bus trip is horrible. I can be in Manhattan and back in less time than it takes to get to Kings Plaza on the B41 bus. Borough Hall or the area near LIRR/Flatbush Ave is the best place; Borough Hall being slightly better.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Mikey's Apple Hookup already has stores in Williamsburg and DUMBO. Of course they don't have as much as full Apple stores, but they cover the basics well, including repairs.

An Apple retail store would be in an area that has plenty of foot traffic, subway access, and disposable income. I have a hard time thinking of a single Brooklyn neighborhood that satisfies those requirements that isn't around Atlantic Ave.

i can't believe people are still saying "artists" live in Williamsburg… maybe 15 years ago… of course Apple should shove one of its ridiculous showrooms into someone's long-vacated artist loft on north whatever street… with the condo market going where it's going, they may be the only tenants at the luxurious "Edge" building

I vote for the Junction or Kings Plaza area. Plenty of travel options and in the middle of much commerce.

Sorry guy,s but there is nothing going on in Dumbo.

It is a very noisy polluted and "hard to get there" place. the former ABC location is on a slump.

I lived in Dumbo for two years. Never and never again. It is a wannabe spot, with nothing happening.

I could not see worst location for an Apple store.

The on Hanson site sounds great it allows for people from Long Island access as it is right near the Brooklyn LI terminal Also near New York technical college and the downtown Brooklyn retail district

The proposed location makes no sense. the best place for Apple to open a store in Brooklyn is at the other end of the borough in Kings Plaza shopping center.

the downtown location to to easily served by the Manhattan stores.

FYI: The New York Metro area has around 14 Apple stores (with ~20 million population). The San Francisco Bay Area also has around 14 stores with population 7-8 million.

Do you know the company which is organising the lease of the retail spaces?

It is greenstone realty.You know the logo of this company?

No?

Take a look at their site: http://www.greenstonerealty.com

Is this only a coincidence?
