Seems like the Flat Iron kind of sheds some of its cool if those streets are not running right next to it. Those streets are part of it. None of these designs will be perfect, I'll admit.

The lot to the south is 12,530sq ft.
The lot to the north is 28,122.

The total for that block is 42,599 sq ft.

Assuming they build a parking deck above or below the store itself, they can certainly fit a good size store there.
