It’s official. The Financial District is getting its own Whole Foods Market.
Macklowe Properties announced last week that the store will occupy 44,000 square feet of One Wall Street, the 1931 Ralph Walker-designed landmark tower it is redeveloping into 180 condominiums and 300 rental units. Macklowe said the store, which will occupy two floors plus one for store operations, is expected to open in late 2018. A food court is part of the addition.
As anticipated[1], the Whole Foods Market will be one component of 155,000 square feet of retail on four levels of the building’s southern (non-landmarked) addition. The store will have public entrances on Broadway, New Street and Exchange Place, with an escalator off the Broadway entrance that will take customers to a lower level, beneath a dramatic, three-story-high atrium.
The four floors of retail will be behind a five-story, stepped glass front that wraps around the corner of Broadway and Exchange Place, with a cafe and outdoor seating on Exchange Place.
