Peck on Peninsula grocery store and private site portal
Peck announces the second NYC grocery store at the Peninsula in Hunts Point, a 20,000 square foot store opening by end of 2027, plus a new online portal for private property owners to recommend sites.
This one will be at the Peninsula, the redeveloped site of the former Sfofford Juvenile Detention Center.
EDC is leading the transformation of the site into a campus of dignified living.
A place where working broad sites can afford to live
work, and play.
The Peninsula development includes 740 units of 100% affordable housing, a child care center,
30,000 square feet for commercial light industrial businesses providing good paying jobs, and over 50,000 square feet for community, cultural, and recreational open space.
With this new NYC grocery store, they will now have access to healthy, affordable food right in their backyard.
This 20,000 square foot store will be the first NYC groceries site to open, expected by the end of 2027.
Along with the peninsula, the mayor also announced an online portal for private property owners to recommend sites for future NYC grocery stores in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
The portal, created by EDC, will support early identification and screening of potential sites and inform next steps and timeline for the three other NYC groceries locations.
I'm incredibly proud of EDC's work on the NYC Groceries Initiative.
This is what public investment should look like, making sure that benefits and the prosperity of our city reach working people who need it most.
Beyond our long-term stewardship and advancement of the sites where these two stores will be located, our team has been working tirelessly to develop this initiative and ensure that the basic needs of working people and families are met.
