Meet Gotham: The Mixed Use Concept Space Changing The Future of Retail

Cannabis, designer clothing and a trinket store all in one? Gotham is reinventing the in-person retail experience.

A new luxury cannabis dispensary has made its way to Brooklyn. Situated in the historic Domino Sugar Factory on the Williamsburg waterfront, Gotham is changing the face of the cannabis retail space. Their mission? To thoughtfully merge lifestyle, community and culture in a space that serves Williamsburg and the greater New York City community.

Gotham’s product offering includes “carefully curated cannabis selection featuring the finest in premium flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vape pens and live resin.”

If cannabis isn’t what you’re in search of, though, you can still find something that piques your interest within Gotham. Fashion brands like Ekhaus Latta, Porter, Little John and Collina Strada line the walls in between shelves adorned with everything from handblown glassware to skincare, and coffee table books on cultural icons like Keith Haring and Yoko Ono.

The brand describes itself as “the world’s first cannabis concept store; a female-founded, mission driven, arts-and culture-forward legal cannabis dispensary in New York City. The brand — where culture and cannabis meet — offers expertly curated cannabis alongside elevated apparel, home and lifestyle goods for a discerning consumer.

Working to revolutionize the narrative around cannabis consumption, Gotham creates a sense of welcome to their local communities and has solidified their place within the cultural zeitgeist of New York with in-store activations, collaborations with creative leaders and tastemakers and elevated events.”

The concept of mixed-used retail isn’t new, but Gotham’s ability to create a high-end retail experience — in an industry that often doesn’t curate high-end spaces — is what makes it revolutionary. Where else can you purchase edibles while browsing a glass-blown chess set and new-season Collina Strada?

Gotham Williamsburg is located on the first floor of The Refinery at Domino, inside of the landmark Domino Sugar Factory building. If you’re in search of a luxury cannibas experience in the city, Gotham has another storefront in the East Village. The brand also has a location upstate in Hudson.

In honor of their Williamsburg grand opening, Gotham has debuted ‘Sugarhigh,’ a limited-edition sugar cube edible only available in store at one of Gotham’s three New York locations.
