Wegmans Brooklyn debut moving along

NEW YORK - Progress is being made on the debut of Wegmans in the New York City market, The Real Deal reported last week.

According to the report, Steiner NYC, the developer behind the Navy Yard’s Steiner Studios, filed plans for the building with an address of 21 Flushing Avenue, according to an application recorded with the Department of Buildings.

The plans call for a supermarket on the first floor and mezzanine level, with light manufacturing space on floors two through five of the 248,489-square-foot building. A roughly 100,000-square-foot parking lot with 246 spaces is also in the works.

Wegmans last year committed more than $2 million to recruit and train its workforce, Drug Store News reported, and will utilize the nearby BNYDC’s Employment Center at BLDG 92 to recruit area residents for the jobs it will create.
