This is a sweet development for a once down-on-its-luck neighborhood
A giant chocolate factory and retail space is coming to Sunset Park's Industry City, a sprawling 30 acres on the Brooklyn waterfront.
It's the latest sign that the formerly rundown 16 building, 6 million-square-foot complex, which is getting a $100 million makeover from owners including the Chelsea Market's Jamestown, is going upscale.
Under master chocolatier Anwar Khoder, Li-Lac will be both a factory and a destination as its chocolate production will be "completely visible" to the public. Li-Lac, which launched in 1923, has stores in Greenwich Village and Grand Central Market.
That's similar to what chocolatier Jacques Torres did when he opened his first spot in DUMBO on Water Street in 2000. Back then, folks could watch chocolate being made.
Last year, Torres also moved his factory to Sunset Park. It's now a 40,000 square-foot space in the Brooklyn Army Terminal, and he has expanded from DUMBO to seven outlets in New York.
In Sunset Park, the developers of Industry City want to reinvent it as an up-and-coming neighborhood, where artisanal food makers and tech companies work and bond over $12 single-pour coffees.
Jamestown's Andrew Kimball, the former CEO of Brooklyn Navy Yards, has said tenants in the buildings will rise from 2,400 to 15,000 by 2023.
Rossopomodoro, an international Neapolitan pizza chain with locations in Eataly New York and Eataly Chicago, will open its first standalone restaurant in the West Village next month at 188 Greenwich St.
The 100-seat restaurant will serve pizza from a wood-burning oven, fresh pasta made in-house and dry pasta from Gragnano, alongside other traditional southern Italian dishes.
The space will be designed by Richard Lewis, of Cherche Midi, Marea and il Buco Alimentari, and will have an eclectic and polished look similar to the Eataly locations.
