Several tips came in from a few readers mentioning that the Pathmark on East 125th at the corner of Lexington appears to closing soon. Final sale posters are up all over the windows out front of the supermarket which apparently also refers to the equipment within. Some might remember that the parent company to the grocery chain just filed for bankruptcy protection but this also might be a sign of new construction that will be arriving soon.
The entire property had actually been sold off last year for a reported $39 million for a planned 10-story condo building by a major developer . This would also include a portion of affordable units but it is unclear if another food market will arrive on the commercial space below. Read more about the plans in our past post:

Thank goodness.. That supermarket was such an eyesore..
ReplyDeleteThe A&P Company went bankrupt so they are selling off assets and grocery store brands. What started off as good idea to serve Harlem residents slowly devolved into a store of the worse customer service in all creation. Good riddance. Still praying Trader Joes find a place up here.
ReplyDeleteWhatever arises, hope it helps to improve and rejuvenate that corner The first impression that someone gets walking off the train at Harlem - 125th is a good look at the homeless, K2, and loitering issues that have plagued this corner for years.
ReplyDeleteMy client owns that Pathmark. He sold the land to Extell, the same company that is building One57 in midtown. Not sure what they plan on doing but I'm sure it will be residential.
ReplyDeleteAnother supermarket is opening on 3 blocks away on Third Ave. It's called Super Fi Emporium. There is another location on 103 Street and Lexington Ave that opened 2 years ago.
