Redeveloping 86th St. in Bay Ridge (Century’s)
I’m surprised no one has shared these plans for 86th Street. This is for where Century’s used to be.
Ripco is doing an amazing job with modern redevelopment plans for 86th Street. I like the walkway from 86th Street to 87th Street.
They have a supermarket planned for 87th Street (formerly the large Century’s Housewares store). They also have a parking lot for 290 cars!
Many of us wrote to Trader Joe’s and asked them to consider Century’s Housewares store on 87th Street after Trader Joe’s didn’t get the Nathan’s location on 86th Street. (Info)
This mini mall looks like it will be a fantastic place to shop! It’s exactly what is needed to revive this location!
The corner of 5th Avenue and 86th Street by Citibank has the logo for Expedition Superstore. That may just be a sample logo they put on the building to show how nice it would look.
The building on the corner of 86th Street and 5th Avenue shows it is in lease negotiations now. That’s good news!
What is familiar in that photo is the orange storefront with the white letters – NYP for New York Presbyterian.
There are also orange banners for NYP. Maybe they were thinking of opening a treatment center on 86th Street?
The only thing I don’t like in these plans is the dark purple section. It says Phase 2 – proposed residential building. I wouldn’t want to see a huge tower on 86th Street.

Ripco is bringing a lot of hope to Bay Ridge and hopefully a lot of businesses want to get in on this plan!
