Target Coming to East 14th St. Development Site, Records Show
EAST VILLAGE — Target is preparing to open a new East 14th Street location.
The retail giant has inked a lease on a commercial space attached to a development at 500 E. 14th St. from the Extell Development Company, according to property records which became public on Friday and first reported by The Real Deal.
The developer is currently building a seven-story residential and commercial site spanning 500 to 524 E. 14th St., between Avenues A and B, bringing two retailers and 160 apartments to the area by 2017. Thirty-two of the units will be below market rate.
The department store will take over one of the two retail spaces in the development.
Target and Trader Joe's would be awesome in that location. But a cashier at the Chelsea TJ told me that a friend of hers works in the corporate office, and according to that person, it is not happening. But I would be happy with Target, although I think the quality of the merchandise has gone down in the past two or three years.

TJ's is already just a few blocks west on 14th Street near Third Avenue/NYU Palladium Dorm . Why would they open another store down by Avenue A?
Trader Joe's already does have a store on the UWS (Broadway and 72nd), but is now opening a second store almost twenty blocks north at Columbus Avenue between 92nd and 93rd streets. Still neither store is hardly in direct competition against each other and the second UWS store is largely taking on the Whole Foods down on 92nd.
The TJ in Union Square is a small space and is super crowded at peak times. The lines wrap around the store, and that makes for a poor shopping experience. Sometimes you have to wait on line to even get into the store! I try to avoid that location whenever possible.
