Mega Glass and Sashes Up for Rent

Mega Glass and Sashes, the family-run glass store on Fifth between St. Marks and Bergen, is on the market.

The storefront is up for lease at $13,500 per month, Park Slope Stoop found. The listing touts the proximity to the Barclays Center as well as stores like Lululemon, Bump, Sun in Bloom, and 67 Burger, and notes that "all uses will be considered."

Mega Glass, which specializes in windows as well as custom-cut glass, has been owned by the Garrastegui family since 1972, and before that it was owned by the Swir family for 60 years, since 1912. This place has been a glass workshop for a shockingly long time, and it's evident: I had the chance to check it out a few years ago, and it really seems as if the only changes that have been made in the ensuing years have been the addition of a TV and a laptop; even the glasscutting tools are essentially the same ones that were used in the beginning. It's one of the few craftsman's workshops left in the neighborhood, let alone in a prime spot on a major avenue. Shame it most likely won't be around for much longer.

Breaking: Flatbush Avenue Five Guys is For Rent

Anybody want to buy a burger shop?

Many thanks to a tipster for sending along the above photo, of a "For Rent" sign that just went up in the window of the Five Guys on Park Place between Seventh and Flatbush Avenues.

It's a fairly new addition to the block, opening just over a year ago in the large space previously occupied by Park Heights Stationers. It was a lengthy, expensive buildout, and the rent on such a cavernous space (in such a prime location) must be astronomical. 5 Guys is an incredibly successful brand, however, so it's surprising to see that an outpost with such heavy foot traffic is presumably being shut down (unless different forces are at work here).

The manager I spoke with was unaware as to why the sign is up, but the number leads to Sol Goldman Investments, one of the city's largest private landowners.

At Long Last, Grecian Corner is For Rent

In the years since Grecian Corner, the 24-hour Greek diner on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Fourth Street, closed its doors for good, time has stood nearly still in the space. The windows were soaped over, but other than that the diner could have closed yesterday: the menu was still proudly displayed in the front window, and there was an utter lack of any indication that the owner was interested in renting out the space to anyone else.

All that has changed, though: last week "For Rent" signs finally went up in the windows, and it looks like there's an actual effort underway to line up a new tenant for this prime corner location. According to LoopNet, the 1340 square foot space will be rented out for $89/sf/year.

Uncle Moe's Space on Seventh Back on the Market

For those hoping that Mission-style burritos might make a comeback in the Slope in the space that was last home to Uncle Moe's Burritos, on Seventh between Ninth and Tenth Streets, you might just have to wait a litle bit longer.

Even though the "For Rent" signs that were pasted up after the 20 year-old restaurant closed back in November were taken down back in March, they have since reappeared: the space is officially back on the market.

Guess this also puts the kibosh on any Starbucks rumors.

202 Fifth Officially On The Market

After spending many years as a cleaners and many more as a vacant space, the storefront at 202 Fifth Avenue, between Union and Sackett, has been completely gutted, given a new facade, and is now up for rent.

Even though whoever comes into the space will probably have some work to do (that exposed structural arch, while cool, most likely needs to be covered up), but this blocklong stretch has become one of the most hopping in all of Brooklyn, with Fleisher's, Goorin, Campo de Fiori and Blueprint all recently joining established favorites 200 5th, Bierkraft, and Press 195. There are two other storefronts currently up for grabs on the block as well (including the prime corner spot where the check cashing place used to be), so it'll be very interesting to see what moves in, especially considering how astronomical these rents must be.
