I guess some redevelopment along that stretch of Alberni will be on the deck in a few years. The three restaurants next to Kobe have leased coming up in 2019, 2021 and 2022.
Quote:
Kobe is profitable but a hefty lease-rate increase could force it to close.
Another possibility is that Kobe could be demolished along with Coast, Black+Blue and The Roof.
That’s because Bruser, in 2014, sold the land underneath his 48-year-old restaurant to an offshore buyer who wanted to aggregate the site with his other holdings.
