New Harvard Ave building to get Urban Outfitters
In the new building near Comm Ave between Staples and TJ Maxx...

Urban Outfitters will open its fourth store in Greater Boston, having signed a lease for 13,500 square feet in Allston, Mass.

The lease, announced Thursday by Boston Realty Advisors on behalf of the site’s landlord, includes 2,400 square feet on the first floor of 226 Harvard Ave. and 11,000 square feet on the second floor. The three-story, 30,000-square-foot building was developed on a speculative basis, or without a tenant, beginning in the first quarter of last year

Am I the only one that thinks that the added foot traffic will ultimately be good for the other indie businesses in the area? Even if it comes from dooshbags, money is still green and my landlord just loooooooves the shit.
bonnie - 9/21/09, 2:40 pm
makes sense.
adamh - 9/21/09, 2:44 pm
i doubt you'll see a whole lot of extra foot traffic as a result. it's on the brookline side of comm ave.
StabMasterArson - 9/21/09, 2:47 pm
I know where it is and I find it hard to believe that people would go all the way out on the green line just stop there and not even venture down Harvard ave to check out some other shops. I'm prolly being naive.
R.Schwarzkogler - 9/21/09, 2:47 pm
i was really worried that allston didn't get enough foot traffic from the 18-24 with cash to spend demographic already!
brandnewbike - 9/21/09, 10:02 pm
tree will be playing at the openinig

and someone told me maybe American Apparel where Marty's was. Urban and AA go hand in hand right?
foresme - 9/21/09, 10:10 pm
really? aa and urban? nononono the reason i ever have any money is cause i'm too lazy to take the train now. yes i admit i buy things there sometimes (rarely though, just cause i'm too poor).

mel - 9/21/09, 12:26 pm
it would be awesome to get an amoeba there


want!
Drana - 9/21/09, 10:11 pm
December 2009, according to Google. And they're hiring.

urban outfitters sucks

either its $4 and I dont want it or $125 and I want it


this is my life dilemma
djd - 9/21/09, 10:16 pm
Half the people who will complain about this have at least occasionally shopped at the same stores in Harvard Sq. Also, it's opening next door to a giant chain store. I think the battle is kinda lost, guys.

finisherr - 9/21/09, 10:41 pm
not surprised.
mckenzie - 11/24/09, 10:15 pm
I expect that they'll mostly be thinning out their traffic and weaken the sales of individual stores by having too many in the same district. Allston UO is UO #5 in the Boston area.
slaughtotroph - 11/24/09, 10:26 pm
Kelly's Roast Beef is going where Marty's was. Not AA.
adamh - 11/25/09, 1:46 am
i fucking hope so. they still have the 'for lease' signs in the window but i want a small roast beef with horseradish and spicy mustard for lunch every day.

radioactiveman - 11/25/09, 2:49 am
pretty sure windows were smashed too?
Mothra - 11/25/09, 3:26 am
I would gladly burn down the Urban Outfitters here in Austin if it meant an H&M would open in its place.
dolores - 11/25/09, 6:35 am
Roast beef
Al - 11/25/09, 7:50 am
I can't get radioactiveman's link to load...what is it?

also, Kelly's? Some things just weren't meant to exist away from Revere Beach
DanC - 11/25/09, 10:45 am
classic!
adamh - 11/25/09, 10:48 am
this would mark a return of kelly's to allston.
Al - 11/25/09, 11:00 am
... ahem... fix the link or tell me what it is, please?
Deathtongue - 12/3/09, 10:59 am
fyi" i just heard teh place isnt opening until 2009. if that.
jared - 12/3/09, 10:59 am
That's not much time.
melshocker - 12/3/09, 10:59 am
Like Allston isn't just Urban Outfitters LARPing park as it is.
Deathtongue - 12/3/09, 11:01 am
oops 2010. and then most likely nope. something wrong with the building. i dunno who cares.
the.rog - 12/3/09, 11:02 am
dick measuring contest over who hates a store more.
the.rog - 12/3/09, 11:33 am
This whole thing is like the clothes shopping equivalent of "I don't even OWN a tv!"
megsamatosis - 12/3/09, 11:41 am
I shop there sometimes with money that I don't have and I like it I won't lie like all of you other liars that I have seen there.
Marty's was amazing they should come back!
