Columbus Square (New York City)
Retail space
The retail space is being leased by Winnick Realty. The 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m) Whole Foods Market, which anchors the 808 Columbus Avenue building, opened in August 2009. TJ Maxx, Michael's, Sephora, and Modell's have also opened, and Petco have confirmed their lease. Other rumored tenants include Crumbs Bakery, Associated Supermarket, Chase Bank, and Borders Books. A community health center, the Ryan Center, will have space in the complex as will the Mandell School and the Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan.
Structural design
The 808 tower on Columbus Avenue was designed by Costas Kondylis and Partners, LLP. Design features include valet parking, a lobby, a residents’ lounge with a fireplace, a catering kitchen, a fitness center, a children's playroom, a bicycle storage room and a media center. Interior designs were by Andrés Escobar, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, soundproof oak floors, washer-dryers, stainless-steel appliances and CaesarStone countertop.
In May 2009, the 29-story tower located on 808 Columbus Avenue became available with 359 residential units. The remaining buildings were scheduled to be completed by October 2010.
