NEW YORK CITY-The city’s Economic Development Corp. today (June 5) issued a Request for Proposals on behalf of the city for the fit-out and operation of 7,800 sf of space to be used as a restaurant/café in the Staten Island Yankees’ new stadium. The EDC also announced at the close of last week that it has finalized the sale of the former Taystee Bakery facility to Citarella Operating LLC in Harlem.

The former Taystee facility is a 40,800 sf city-owned site with six buildings totaling 134,000 sf on it at West 126th St. between Amsterdam and Morningside Avenues. A spokesperson for the EDC tells GlobeSt.com Citarella will likely demolish most of the buildings on the site and plans to renovate the remaining building(s) and expand its operations there.

Citarella will establish its corporate offices there, moving from its current 75th Street location. The site will also house food preparation areas for specialty bakery, pasta and salad items, a training facility and expansion of warehouse and storage facilities. There will also be 5,000 sf of retail space. The renovations will take about eight months to complete.
