Some Steiner East Village retail speculation



Some locals have been curious about what retail tenants might be coming to Steiner East Village on Avenue A between 11th Street and 12th Street... workers recently put up paper on the windows, fueling speculation that something imminent is in the works...



However, a source tells us that Steiner reps are still in the preliminary stages in considering retail leases in the nearly 11,000 feet of retail space at the condoplex.

You can likely count out a Trader Joe's and Target, which are opening on 14th Street and Avenue A. (Duane Reade is always a popular jokey choice, though they are currently downsizing locations.)

The idyllic rendering at the Steiner East Village website shows what looks like a restaurant/wine bar in the corner space on 11th Street along with some smaller shops...



Ripco Real Estate still has a listing for the address that dates to 2014.

  2. I've been wondering about this as well. These days I live in fear when a retail space becomes available, will be be another bar, boozy brunch spot, a bro sport bar, or some corporate dullness which will further eradicate our local culture. My guess is the later some form of chain store which will be encouraged by the incoming TJ's and Target that now's the time to set up shop. Does anyone know what other Steiner buildings have for retail space?

  8. No matter what we hope for, it probably wont happen.

    Westmarket is nice, but expensive.

    What could open in a fancy joint that will
    be inexpensive to people and make money
    for the landlord .. ?
