Groundbreaking began today on a new retail initiative in Stuyvesant
Oval that hopes to see a slew of retail shops in the heart of the
complex by fall. As usual developers have run into problems.Fourteen new retail shops will be opening throughout the Oval including Office Depot, Sally Beauty Supply, and Dress Barn whose new façade almost came crumbling down this morning when developers used a wrecking ball to remove a portion of 12 Stuyvesant Oval. They quickly halted demolition when the building began to lean to one side and had to be put on supports.
When Tish-Spy was notified of the debacle they quickly arrived on the scene to speak with the developers who unfortunately did not speak English. When pressured for answers the developers scaled the illegal immigrant fence and were not seen again.
Tish-Spy management also squashed rumors that another Associated Market would be part of the new strip mall. "We've frustrated the residents enough, we don't need to inflict bitter, 16-year-old sales clerks on them as well."
