September 9, 2026

Westport CT – Saugatuck Commercial Real Estate (SCRE) has finalized two retail leasing transactions targeting family-oriented services in Brooklyn, New York. Both long-term leases were brokered by Erika Tulsi, Licensed Real Estate Associate at SCRE.

We are thrilled to expand our presence in the Brooklyn market with these two outstanding brands,” said Penny Wickey, Principal of SCRE. “Erika Tulsi’s deep knowledge of Brooklyn’s residential pockets allowed us to identify retail spaces that perfectly align with each brand’s target demographic. Securing our 10th location for Sharkey’s Cuts for Children is a testament to our ongoing advisory relationship with emerging and expanding concepts, while bringing Bear Brooklyn, a new neighborhood women’s clothing boutique (in the former Powerhouse Books space) to fruition underscores our commitment to fostering independent local businesses.”

Bear Brooklyn leased 700 SF at 1111 8th Avenue in Park Slope.  Sharkey’s Cuts for Children leased 1,200 SF at 9008 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge.
