Costco may come to Harlem
NY Newsday
In a move towards equal access to box stores:
After several delays, Costco is close to signing a lease for its first Manhattan store, said the developers of East River Plaza, a big-box shopping center set to open in summer of 2007 on FDR Drive in Harlem.
The warehouse club retailer will likely sign a lease as an anchor within the next two weeks, said David Blumenfeld, vice president of Blumenfeld Development Group, which is building the project in partnership with Forest City Ratner.
