WILLIAMSBURG
Since the residential rezoning of the Williamsburg waterfront, the neighborhood has seen a drastic transformation into one of the hottest areas and the most vibrant retail market in Brooklyn. The increasing popularity of Williamsburg has gone hand in hand with the emergence of Brooklyn as a world-renowned brand.
The Bedford L train has an extraordinary annual ridership of 9.4 million people, and the Marcy J, M, Z train has an annual ridership of 4.2 million people. These riders are comprised of local residents as well as tourists from all over the world who visit the neighborhood to eat, drink, and shop at the amazing local businesses. The area’s population has grown and diversified from a primarily younger demographic into a population that now includes a swath of millennials, families, and professionals who occupy the high-end condos and rentals. Within the next year, more than 4,000 residential units will come to market and close to 1,000 new hotel rooms will be added over the next couple of years.
While the area was initially popularized by artists in the 1980’s and 1990’s who heralded the emergence of a significant restaurant and bar scene, the area has transformed in recent years into a serious retail market, attracting larger national tenants and major brands, with the best businesses and retailers clamoring to enter this hip market. Williamsburg is now proudly home to many of the city’s best restaurants, bars, nightclubs, music venues, hotels, bowling alleys, and shopping destinations. With this high density of area residents to patronize businesses, there is now a demand for more and more retailers to fulfill this demand.
