The market will relocate across Delancey Street to a 30,000 square-foot space at the base of Essex Crossing in 2018, after which construction will begin at its current home.

Update: In statement provided to TRD, Delancey Street Associates (which is composed of the project’s developers: Taconic Investment Partners, L+M Development Partners and BFC Partners) said: “We aren’t familiar with this rendering. We have yet to select an architect and begin design work on Site 9.”
