A new rendering has been released for an eight-story residential building set to rise on the site of a single-story Key Food at 325 Lafayette Avenue.
In response to local upset over the removal of the grocery store, Slate Property Group principal David Schwartz negotiated a new lease with the supermarket, YIMBY reported. The new rendering shows the grocer returning to the building’s ground floor.
Permits were filed for the development back in March, when a similar rendering was released in black and white, with community space slated for the first floor instead of the grocery store.
The development will have 78,367 square feet of residential space, with 16,146 square feet for the Key Food on the ground floor, and 294 square feet set aside for an adjacent medical office.
Of the 117 units, 24 will be affordable.
Designed by Aufgang Architects, the building includes a 59 car cellar, fitness center, and roof deck, among other amenities. Aufgang specializes in affordable housing and adaptive reuse and designed Dumbo’s 200 Water Street redevelopment.
While the supermarket still stands on the lot, Slate Property Group expects to have permits approved and demolish it within a month, according to YIMBY.

Have to disagree. In the couple decades I shopped at the now-closed Key Food at this location, I found lower prices on , and items unavailable at TJ or Aldi’s. Don’t know how the pricing at the new KF here (or the one about to open on Myrtle) will compare, but I miss the old one a great deal, as do many of my neighbors.

That’s unfortunate. Key Foods is a rip off. You need Trader Joes or Aldi’s there for cheaper products.
