JLL leases 37,000 s/f to FoodBazaar Supermarket at 375 West 207th St.

Manhattan, NY JLL completed a new retail lease with Food Bazaar Supermarket (Bogopa Service Corp.) to open a 37,000 s/f full-service grocery store located at 375 West 207^th St. in the Sherman Creek neighborhood of Inwood.

The new Food Bazaar will be located at the base of Sherman Creek North Cove, a 611-unit residential project being developed by MADDD Equities and Joy Construction. All of the residential units in the building will be affordable with rents set to create a mixed income workforce housing community. 

Family-founded in 1988 and privately owned and operated, Food Bazaar has grown to over 30 full-service stores in the tri-state area thanks to its focus on connecting to its immediate communities with international food offerings and fresh and healthy perishables. Estimated to open in spring 2025, the new Sherman Creek store will feature a custom-cutting meat department, full-service seafood department, deli counter and a bakery. It will also house a coffee bean and roastery department and a full-service cheese section.

Edward Suh, executive vice president of Bogopa, said, “We are extremely excited to introduce our Food Bazaar brand to this community, which is where the founders of Food Bazaar lived for many years. As a company, we are passionate about supporting our local communities and we look forward to celebrating the neighborhood’s rich culture and heritage with a range of fresh food options catering to local demand.” 

“As Sherman Creek evolves from a primarily commercial district to a dynamic community of new residential and mixed-use properties, open park space and waterfront access, Food Bazaar will fill the void for a fullservice neighborhood supermarket providing fresh food options,” said Eli Weiss, principal of Joy Construction. “We are thrilled to welcome them to Sherman Creek North Cove, which will bring much-needed high quality workforce housing, tenant amenities and community recreation space to the area.”
