BoogieDowner Real Estate 101: 510 Hunts Point Avenue - 20,000 sq ft. available in busy banking district of Hunts Point

Some of you have heard of New Jersey’s weak and feeble attempt to woo the Hunts Point Food Distribution Center. Instead of nurturing their own businesses they probably thought it was easier to poach Bronx businesses after years of hard work by community leaders, business owners and elected officials; including U.S. Congressman Serrano who recently moved his offices to the area. What’s at stake is over 3,000 jobs within the market wall and an estimated 10,000 jobs in the industrial zone ,around the market, that I am sure will be affected if the market did leave. Not only will the Hunts Point market stay in the Bronx, the market will continue to strive as the world largest food distribution center in the world. The business and residential community as a whole will see exponential economic and cultural growth spear headed by the newly renovated Bank Note building and cultural institutions such as “The Point". In addition, if there is any possibility to introduce a big box store without damage to an existing retail community the light industrial southern portion of Hunts Point might be the answer.

Upon hearing about New Jersey’s futile attempt I though it was time to visit my friends who own property in Hunts Point to see what opportunities were brewing and start thinking about my outreach to New Jersey business that would be better off in our beloved Hunts Point? Why not do business in a Federal Empowerment Zone convenient to everywhere including Manhattan without the hassle of bridges and tunnels, especially when warehouse and industrial space in Hunts Point rents for between $15 and $20 a square foot.
