Whole Foods Has Wall Street In Its Sights
The bulls and bears on Wall Street could have a new place to blow off some steam and pick up some healthy grub after the market closes for the day.
Whole Foods is eyeing space in the financial district and may have its sights set on one particular spot. One Wall Street, the former Bank of America tower purchased by Harry Macklowe for $585M in 2014, could be a landing spot for the eco-minded grocer. No deal is imminent, but the two sides are looking into it, the New York Post reports.
Mcaklowe is planning for 524 units, split between rentals and condos, in the 50-story building as well as 95k SF of commercial space. Macklowe also purchased an annex building on Broadway, which does not have landmark status.
Whole Foods has been expanding around Manhattan with eight stores currently operating, including the bustling location at 4 Union Square E. The grocer has recently leased space at 1095 Sixth Ave in Midtown and at 125th Street and Lenox Avenue in Harlem, with both spots potentially opening up this year. [NYP]
