A DeCicco & Sons market is set to begin rising at Edge-on-Hudson in Sleepy Hollow, New York, later this year. The Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board approved plans for the 30,000-square-foot market, which will include a second story glass-enclosed beer and wine café, oriented toward the Hudson River. Plans call for a 2022 opening.
“We’re grateful to have received approval for construction of what we feel will be one of our finest markets to date in Westchester County,” said John DeCicco Jr., CEO of DeCicco & Sons. “Sleepy Hollow and the new Edge-on-Hudson mixed-use community along the waterfront make for a compelling location and we’re excited to be a part of all that’s happening in the Village.”
An adjacent 10,000-square-foot retail space was also approved, of which 5,000 square feet are earmarked for a pharmacy. DeCicco & Sons market and the adjacent building are the first retail structures approved, even as the developers at Edge-on-Hudson have begun initial talks with potential hoteliers and additional retailers.
The design of the new DeCicco & Sons market at Edge-on-Hudson echoes the industrial heritage of the Hudson Valley, featuring a brick exterior, a standing-seam metal roof, glass and steel cupolas, steel lintels and clerestory windows.
The DeCicco & Sons market will utilize a range of cutting-edge “green” initiatives in its construction and operation. Set to be built to LEED certification standards, construction will include reclaimed brick and timber to promote sustainability and recycling, while utilizing green roof technology. Market operations will include a co2-based natural refrigeration system, a non-ozone depleting technology that DeCicco & Sons was the first to bring to Westchester County. Heat expelled from the refrigeration system will be recycled for use as radiant heat for the market in cold weather months — also a first in Westchester. Heat will be recycled, as well, from the demand-based cooking systems.
The master developers of Edge-on-Hudson, Biddle Real Estate Ventures (BREV) and PCD Development, worked with leasing agent David Scotto at RM Freidland to secure the DeCicco & Son’s signing and to evaluate upcoming retail opportunities.
In addition to townhomes, loft condominiums and apartments, the approved special permit for Edge-on-Hudson delineates as much as 135,000 square feet of retail space, 35,000 square feet of office space and a 140-room hotel on the waterfront. The hotel will be a first for Sleepy Hollow, and one of the only hotels along the Eastern shore of the Hudson River in proximity to New York City.
“We couldn’t have found a better partner than DeCicco & Sons to bring the first retail amenity to Edge-on-Hudson,” said BREV founder Peter Chavkin. “In addition to running superb market operations, they have proved to be hands-on, caring corporate citizens within the communities they serve.”
