Whole Foods to finally begin construction on its Bklyn store in Gowanus
Site preparation is finally underway and construction will begin this fall on the Whole Foods Market at 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue in Gowanus, according to Michael Sinatra, public affairs manager for Whole Foods’ Northeast Region.
“Once the site preparation is complete, we anticipate beginning work on the foundation in late fall, with the store’s steel frame expected to start going up around the beginning of the year,” said Sinatra in a memo to Community Board 6, which was sent to the Eagle yesterday.
“Construction will then move ahead steadily toward our expected fall 2013 grand opening. We couldn’t be more excited to finally be poised to bring Whole Foods Market to the borough’s residents.”
