NEW YORK CITY-Fairways Markets is looking to take over some retail space at 766 Sixth Ave. to open a new location near competitors Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.

The grocery chain is in talks to lease approximately 23,000 sf on two levels, according to the New York Post.

Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of retail leasing and sales for Douglas Elliman, says the possible expansion will have a positive impact on the area. ““Fairway would help this residential neighborhood establish a greater retail corridor. It will link the techie corridor of Park and Madison avenues to the tourists of Fifth Avenue and the residents of Sixth Avenue. The area will soon fill in with restaurants and retail. Food comes first, and fashion follows food,” she says. See story in the New York Post.
