101 Bedford, the mixed-use rental on Bedford Ave. between North 11th and 12th Sts. in Williamsburg, will soon be home to The Bean. The new store will be located on the Bedford Ave. side of the 351-unit four-building complex, with its entrance on North 11th St., and will feature 1,200 s/f at ground level, plus a 600 s/f basement. It is the fourth location for the restaurant group and the only one outside of Lower Manhattan. "This is a great Brooklyn welcome for The Bean, in a building that's nearly fully rented and just down the street from McCarren Park with its year-round activities," said Scott Heller, CEO of the full-service real estate brokerage and investment firm. "Not only does The Bean have great coffee and light fare like sandwiches, muffins and cupcakes, it delivers, so it's a win-win for the residents and neighborhood." In addition to the new store, there is a balance of more than 6,900 s/f of available retail space in the building. Josh Singer, director of retail leasing for the Heller Org., said, "We are currently in talks with a prominent fashion designer, and anticipate the rest of the space will lease up quickly now that it's on the market. Bedford Ave. is one of Williamsburg's busiest corridors, so it can easily accommodate fashion, food and any other retail that speaks to a base of hip, affluent consumers." Heller and Singer represented the landlord, Halcyon Management, and the tenant was represented by KSR Realty.
