Ground-floor retail now leasing at The Houston (on Houston)

Residents started moving into the all-new 280 E. Houston St. late in the summer. 

The 12-story mixed-use building (aka The Houston) between Avenue A and Avenue B has nearly 160 units — 49 of them "affordable," as noted during the housing-lottery phase. 

And now the retail portion has officially hit the market (PDF here). The listing notes 5,693 square feet of ground-floor space, divisible, with "all uses considered," and rent is available upon request.
As we've noted, this lot was previously a one-level strip of storefronts and a gas station decades before that. 

Anyway, bring back the Blockbuster!

    I hope something moves in and that they didn't make it too large of a space. The building at ave C and Houston has never had a ground floor occupant. It's just too big of a space asking for too much money. Unless you get a bank/grocery store/etc, you're not going to get a biter there.

    Would be really nice to have a Trader Joe’s there 😃
