Related Companies, Oxford Properties Group and Fairway Group Holdings Corp. ("Fairway") announced today that Fairway Market, the iconic grocery super store, will be the anchor food market at Hudson Yards. The 45,875 sq. ft. site will be comparable in size to Fairway's 74th Street and Broadway and 86th Street and 2nd Avenue locations, and will occupy the ground floor retail space in the South Tower. Fairway will offer the entire Hudson Yards neighborhood a first-class grocery shopping experience that epitomizes Fairway's "Like No Other Market" ® slogan.
The Hudson Yards Fairway will be adjacent to the 10th Avenue Spur, part of New York City's famous High Line, and is scheduled to open in 2015. It will be across the street from 500 West 30th Street – the new Robert A. M. Stern designed rental property being developed by Related Companies and Abington Properties, which is scheduled for completion in 2014.
Similar to all Fairway Markets, the new store will offer an exceptional combination of traditional, organic and specialty foods at the most competitive prices. Fairway is a fusion of the neighborhood corner butcher, baker, cheese shop, fishmonger, and farmer's market, all under one roof and serving millions of customers annually with daily-delivered produce, a best-of-the-best kosher selection, the freshest seafood, custom-cut USDA prime meat, cheeses from around the world, a classic New York deli counter, a made-from-scratch bakery, an olive bar, coffee bar, cafe and more.
The anticipated LEED Gold South Tower, designed by acclaimed global architects Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF), has 52 stories and stands 895 feet tall. The South Tower offers Fairway a truly unique location just beneath the High Line at the corner of 30th Street and 10th Avenue and adjacent to the highly anticipated Culture Shed. Construction on the 1.7 million sq. ft. South Tower began last December and the building is slated for occupancy in 2015. With this lease agreement, the South Tower is more than 85 percent committed with additional tenants Coach Inc., L'Oreal USA and SAP.
Hudson Yards sits within New York's fastest developing neighborhood, with a growth rate five times greater than the rest of Manhattan and an influx of 6,000 residences and 2,400 hotel rooms in the last five years. Once completed, 40,000 people will work in, or call Hudson Yards their home.
The 28-acre site, which now includes 1 and 2 Hudson Boulevard, will transform the neighborhood by giving residents, employees and visitors an incomparable offering of amenities including: more than 9 million square feet of state-of-the-art commercial space, 750,000 square feet of destination retail space, 5,000 residences, a new public school, a cultural center, a luxury hotel, a health club, a direct connection to the #7 Subway and 14-acres of new public space with connections to the celebrated High Line and the new Hudson Park and Boulevard – a sweeping 4-acre thoroughfare running north from West 33rd Street to Times Square.
