- Approx. 42,000 square feet of additional retail/commercial space, including a CVS pharmacy, Wells Fargo bank branch and neighborhood retail
- A 130-space below-grade parking garage
- A publicly accessible pedestrian plaza connecting Butler Street with Fifth Avenue
Construction Hours
- Monday-Friday, 7:00am-6:00pm.
- Weekend work will be scheduled as needed, typically on Saturdays from 9:00am until 6:00pm.
- After-hours or Sunday work may be scheduled for public safety reasons or for the continuity of essential construction tasks (e.g., cement pours).
Construction Time Frame
The project’s construction team is committed to conducting work on the site in a manner that is responsible and respectful of the community while working to complete this project as expeditiously as possible and deliver the new supermarket and affordable housing units starting late 2024/early 2025. We greatly appreciate the patience of our neighbors during construction.

Construction Effects
In April, May, and June, you can expect the following:
- Modified pedestrian paths on 5th Avenue and Baltic Street adjacent to the site will allow necessary infrastructure and site work. New signage will be installed to direct pedestrians around the site.
- The changes in pedestrian pathways will result in the temporary removal of street parking on the west side of 5th Avenue between Sterling Place and Baltic Street, and on Baltic Street between 5th Avenue and Gregory Place.
- The changes to pedestrian paths and parking on 5th Avenue will be in effect for approx. 3-4 months starting Thursday, April 25th, while the changes on Baltic will remain in effect until this fall.
- Truck deliveries within hours of operation. Our team has instructed truck drivers to park only where permitted; not to park in bus stops or crosswalks; not to block deliveries to local businesses or residential driveways; and to follow all applicable NYC regulations regarding idling. Our team will endeavor to minimize the impact of truck traffic.
- Construction vehicles will access the site via vehicular gates on Fifth Avenue and Gregory Place. Flagmen will be present to help ensure pedestrian safety as vehicles enter & exit the site.
- In the event that high wind conditions are in the forecast, the construction crane on-site will be temporarily lowered and Gregory Place will be closed to vehicular traffic until weather conditions improve and the crane is re-hoisted.
