Leasemark has no asking rents posted here yet, so here are the city's own numbers. Retail buildings in Brooklyn collected a median $33.16 per square foot in 2024, and the middle half between $22.30 and $48.57, according to the income and expense statements owners file with the NYC Department of Finance (FY 2027 distributions, 2,856 filings). The city publishes these figures by borough, so this is Brooklyn as a whole, not East New York alone. That is what buildings actually collected, with vacant space, concessions and leases signed years ago in the mix, so it is a baseline rather than a quote: a specific space's price depends on the building's class, floor, condition and the length of the lease.

New York's 500-foot rule (Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, section 64) bars a new full liquor license for on-site drinking within 500 feet of three or more places that already hold one, unless the State Liquor Authority finds at a hearing that it is in the public interest. In the part of East New York Leasemark covers, 0 of the 28 places with a full liquor license (0%) have three or more others within 500 feet, so most addresses here would not need that hearing. A beer and wine license is not subject to the rule and does not count toward it. Distances here are between map points, so check the exact address before you sign a lease.
