Target is opening yet another location in New York City.
The big-box retailer has signed a lease at 258 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, currently occupied by a sprawling — and bankrupt — New York Sports Club.
Target will take up a 28,000-square-foot retail space in the base of a to-be constructed mixed-use rental building, according to a statement by a spokesperson for JJ Operating, who purchased the site in 2017 for $107 million. The building will encompass a full city block from 23rd to 24th streets.
A Target spokesperson confirmed that the Chelsea store is in the works.
Richard Skulnik of Ripco Real Estate represented Target as the broker in the transaction.
