The Whole Foods building at 100 West 125th Street on the corner of Lenox is apparently ready to break ground. A tip just came in that the permits have finally been approved for the new construction and a quick check on the DOB site confirms this fact. Everything has been given the green light to proceed as of today so expect that plywood to go up early this fall. Burlington Coat Factory and American Eagle will also be tenants in the six-story building that will rise on the lot.
will whole food be the only occupant of the site or will there be others?
ReplyDeleteGreat news, thanks for keeping us updated on this project.
ReplyDeleteDepressing that such down-market brands will co-habitate with a perhaps too up-market one. 125th is already over stocked with lo-end chains.
ReplyDeleteI do not see progress as depressing, I see it as exciting, that is the story of Harlem in this last decade, down-market next to up-market, a beautifully restored brownstone next to an abandoned building and many other examples of contrast. Harlem has come a long way with many leaps forward like this.
DeleteSo excited for this. I'll check out American Eagle when it's there, but the Whole Foods is what I'm really looking forward to. I hope it's on the ground floor. I'll be there multiple times a week.
ReplyDeleteHappy to have WF in Harlem,will be a nice change from the grocery stores here....
ReplyDeleteBurlington has pulled out and gone to the East River Plaza. I think WF is waiting to have another sizable tenant join them.
