Gristedes has signed a lease for 7,500 square feet in the Wall Street area, becoming the first supermarket chain to open a store in the financial district.
The market will be located at 90 Maiden Lane, between Pearl and William streets, in a space previously occupied by a McDonald’s restaurant.
The asking rent was $120 a foot.
Jeff Winick, Darrell Rubens, Angellina De Richie, and Lori Shabtai of Winick Realty Group represented both sides.
“This is nice sized brand name supermarket which is exactly what we need,” said Eric Deutsch, president of the Downtown Alliance.
Meanwhile, a large Whole Foods is planned for 101 Warren St. several blocks north of the World Trade Center site.
