The Prusik Group, BRP Companies, L+M Development Partners,
and Taconic Partners have signed a 28,000 s/f lease with Trader Joe’s in Harlem.
The popular grocery chain will join Target as the retail
anchors of the new $242 million Urban League Empowerment Center mixed used
development now under construction at 121 West 125th Street.
The 17-story Urban League Empowerment Center will house the
National Urban League’s headquarters and the state’s first civil rights museum
as well as 170 units of supportive and affordable housing for low-income New
Yorkers, 70,000 s/f of office space and nearly 90,000 s/f of retail.
Target already signed a lease for a new 44,000 s/f store and the office space tenants include several locally based non-profits, including the United Negro College Fund, 100 Black Men, Inc. and Jazzmobile. The project, designed by Beyer Blinder Belle, is expected to be completed in 2023. Dabar Development Partners is the Owner’s Representative for the National Urban League.
