Tony Brooklyn nabe goes from old money to ultra-luxury as Ritz-Carlton moves in and bidding wars explode

Brooklyn Heights has always had money. Now it has a velvet rope. The landmarked neighborhood perched above the East River is getting the borough’s first branded condos, a members-only athletic club with a five-figure price tag and a buzzy chef-owned grocery. And it’s all while buyers are clawing over the few apartments that actually come up for sale. “Since COVID, it has definitely taken on a completely different aura than it had pre-COVID,” Corcoran broker Deb Rieders told The Post. “It’s always been considered a great neighborhood. However, what’s happened since COVID … prices have exponentially gone up.” Brooklyn Heights, long one of New York’s most coveted neighborhoods, is climbing into ultra-luxury territory as high-end brands, pricey clubs and frenzied buyers converge on the landmarked enclave. Jonbilous Corcoran broker Deb Rieders said the neighborhood has transformed since the pandemic, when Manhattanites sought more space without sacrificing an easy commute. She noted that the scarcity of listings means nearly every co-op and condo between $1 million and $5 million sparks a bidding war, with one of her clients losing out on about six homes before landing one.

Mamdani Budget Floats on Wall Street Cash as Momentum Grows for New Taxes

When the City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani agreed on a $127 billion budget last June, the story behind the story was obvious.

Two new Trader Joe's stores are planned for New York, expanding the popular grocery chain's presence in the state. The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year. The expansion comes as Trader Joe's continues to draw shoppers with its private-label products and competitively priced groceries. Where are the new Trader Joe's stores? According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area.

Whatever Happened to W.T. Grant Stores in New York?

W.T. Grant stores disappeared in 1976 after the once-enormous variety-store chain went bankrupt and liquidated its remaining locations. The company filed for protection from creditors in October 1975, but its attempt to continue operating failed. By the following spring, the familiar Grants signs were coming down across New York and the rest of the country. The collapse ended a business that had started with one Massachusetts store in 1906 and grown into a nationwide chain with more than a thousand locations.
