Essex Street Market A new, expanded Essex Street Market facility
could be built on Site 2. It would remain a public market with a
variety of vendors, products and price points.
Vendors at existing public market would be given the first opportunity to relocate to the new market facility.
Rents in the new facility for existing vendors would be commensurate with rents and planned increases at the time of the move.
Existing facility would not be closed until the new facility was ready for occupancy.
Updates NYCEDC would pay all reasonable moving-
related expenses for vendors. NYCEDC is working with the vendors to
understand their design needs for a new facility.
