Whole Foods to open at One Wall Street | Macklowe Properties
From Get To Know
In anticipation of One Wall Street Whole Foods, see NYC condos near high-quality supermarkets

Tuesday, January 10, 2023
Residents of One Wall Street enjoy the cache of living in a masterful residential conversion, white-glove service, a two-story wellness and leisure amenity space near the top of the building, and a complimentary membership to the Life Time Fitness resort in the building. However, another perk of the building is one that has been anticipated by many of their neighbors: the first Whole Foods outpost in the Financial District in the base of the building. The 42,000-square-foot grocery store has been on the radar of Lower Manhattan residents for years, and will officially open at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, January 11 in a celebration with extended hours, live music, and gifts for the first 200 customers.
Like the apartments on top, the design of the new Whole Foods will pay tribute to the Art Deco influences of the building. Features are set to include a coffee bar with coffee from Partners Coffee, self-service pizza station, and more than 1,000 local offerings including produce, meat, seafood, and beer options. It will also be home to one of Whole Foods’ first Local and Emerging Accelerator Programs (LEAP), which provides mentorship, education, and potential for financial support in encouragement of business growth. The arrival of Whole Foods further burnishes the Financial District's credentials as a live-work neighborhood, and is only an elevator ride away for One Wall Street residents.

Further uptown, Manhattan’s first Wegmans grocery store is expected to open in the second half of 2023, or roughly four years after the Brooklyn Navy Yard location, the first in New York City, broke records for opening-day sales. East Villagers were disappointed at the sudden closure of the Astor Place Kmart at 770 Broadway, but got over it quickly upon learning what would be replacing it. In addition to the traditional offerings, including but not limited to pizza and deli counters, the new store will feature a 94-seat seafood restaurant with an oyster counter and a 10-seat sushi bar (h/t 6sqft).
“The community’s response to the opening of our Brooklyn store had an excitement and energy that you can only experience in New York City” – Colleen Wegman, President and CEO, Wegmans
New Yorkers’ enthusiasm for gourmet supermarkets goes beyond an appreciation for exclusive offerings and helpful staff. No one likes to lug heavy bags of groceries for several blocks, let alone on public transportation, and convenience was especially at a premium at the height of lockdown. Moreover, close proximity to a grocery store can have a positive impact on a home’s value. The “Trader Joe’s effect” has long been bandied about in real estate circles, and hard data has emerged to back that up: A study by ATTOM Data Solutions found that homeowners living near a Trader Joe’s experienced an average home seller return on investment of 51 percent, and that those near Whole Foods experienced a 41 percent return on investment.
There was a time when some wondered if ultra-fast online grocers would upend the traditional grocery store, but that does not appear to have come to pass. Meanwhile, real estate developers and agents have come to recognize the importance of grocery stores and are now promoting their proximity as vigorously as they would a building's more over-the-top amenities. Below, we take a look at a number of buildings throughout the city with grocery stores within a few blocks, if not an elevator ride away. The buildings are ranked by the nearby grocery stores' Yelp rating.

"About time! This area has needed a Trader Joe's for a while now...Every register is occupied by staff and they are quick and efficient." - Michael S.
Until June 2021, Long Island City residents craving Mandarin Orange chicken, Everything But the Bagel-seasoned snacks, or Cinnamon Sugar Bread could either trek to Rego Park or get on the subway from Manhattan with an armload of bags. The store's decor pays tribute to the local neighborhood, and residents appreciate the store's rich selections of produce, cheese, beer, and flowers. The "Trader Joe's effect" has clearly worked on The Prime, the condos on top: The building is sold out as of this writing.

"A brilliant addition to the community" - Ruggy L.
A key component of the Essex Crossing mega-development was the largest Trader Joe's location on the East Coast. While it has not usurped local mainstay Essex Market, locals are nevertheless excited by the seemingly endless product selection, wide aisles, and friendly staff.

"Oh Trader Joe's, my favorite grocery store in the U.S., you've finally arrived on the Upper East Side!" - Old Fart M.

Six years after the Food Emporium under the Queensboro Bridge closed, Trader Joe's opened its doors where Midtown East gives way to the Upper East Side. The Bridgemarket space's landmarked status required a few Landmarks hearings, but the grocery store ultimately prevailed to the delight of locals. The space has been described as the city's most beautiful supermarket, and shoppers enjoy an airy atmosphere and abundant light.
