“New renderings produced by local officials show a glass-walled store on the first two floors of the building on Joralemon St. across from Borough Hall,” Durkin reports. “‘It’s got the foot traffic. The building is iconic. The building’s gorgeous, and I think it would make for a beautiful location,’ said Borough President Marty Markowitz.”
Durkin reports, “Apple – which has four stores in Manhattan and one on Staten Island – has scoped out sites in downtown Brooklyn and Williamsburg, but hasn’t bitten. Markowitz even made a video of himself writing an email to Apple CEO Steve Jobs on his new iPad this spring – but Jobs never wrote back. ‘They haven’t made it until they’ve made it in Brooklyn,’ he said.”
