The Domain Companies, LMXD, the Vorea Group and Bridge Investment Group announced two new retail leases totaling 4,560 square feet at Jasper, a mixed-use development in Long Island City, Queens. The new tenants Peanut and Honey, a children’s clothing store, and KidStrong, a children’s athletic play center, will open later this year and will bring Jasper’s total 33,300 square feet of retail to over 96% leased prior to the completion of construction.
“Being able to provide the best living environment possible for our residents is paramount in each of our projects,” said Matt Schwartz, co-CEO of The Domain Companies. “Welcoming Peanut and Honey and KidStrong to Jasper will improve the day-to-day experience for the families in our community, both within the building and in the larger LIC neighborhood.”
The retail leases, each 10 years, were brokered by Adam Joly, principal at Igloo, who represented ownership, Douglas M. Lieberman, who represented Peanut and Honey, and Nick Masson of SCG Retail, who represented KidStrong. Both will open this summer.
“From restaurants to health and wellness, grocery and, now, children’s enrichment and retail clothing concepts, Jasper has attracted a wide range of retailers which will offer impactful experiences for the LIC community to enjoy,” Joly said.
Peanut and Honey, which serves children ages 0 to 12 will take approximately 1,100 square feet of retail space. Known for its quality and charm, the store features a curated selection of clothing from top brands, toys and accessories. Peanut and Honey at Jasper will be the second location since the opening of its flagship in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The new store is expected to open this summer 2025.
KidStrong is an athletic play center that caters to children ages 1 to 11, with a unique curriculum designed to support whole-child development. KidStrong’s 3,460 square feet will provide programming that builds confidence, character, and family connection through science-based fitness games led by expert coaches. KidStrong will also open in the summer of 2025.
Peanut and Honey and KidStrong will join Frankie’s Brooklyn Pizza, Tiger J Taekwondo, Matsuzuki Sakura, Dumbo Market, Bright Start, Club Pilates and Glowbar on Jasper’s ground floor.
In addition to the ground floor retail space, Jasper will have 499 apartment rentals ranging from studios to three bedrooms, 150 of which will be set aside for those with a 130% area median income. A development designed to offer residents a holistic living experience, Jasper residents will enjoy access to multiple outdoor terraces, a pool, fitness equipment and classes, a yoga studio, bike storage, multiple landscaped courtyards, a game room, package lockers, personal storage, dedicated outdoor dining and BBQ areas, a residential lounge and demonstration kitchen, co-working space, green roofs and 112 parking spaces.
