Broadway/West 231st Street Mall Ribbon Cutting


  With three stores still vacant and work going on in the old gas station next to it, the ribbon was cut for the Broadway/West 231st Street mall. On hand were Congressman Eliot Engel, Councilman Andrew Cohen, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, State Senator Gustavo Rivera, Community Board 8 Chair Dan Padernacht, and BOEDC head Marlene Cintron to join Kyle Kimball of the NYCEDC and Michael Brookfield of Equity One. 
  Each elected official was cordial in their remarks, thanking the NYCEDC and Equity One for the new mall. Currently Sports Authority, T.J.Maxx, and Party City fully occupy the top floor, with Aldi Markets the only tenant on the main floor. There is also one floor for parking. Construction is going on for a Starbuck's Coffee shop and fitness center in the old gas station next to the mall which was said to be separate from the mall.

 Work goes on where the old gas station once stood, to bring a new Starbuck's and a fitness center adjacent to the new mall.
