In June & October, Northfield Community LDC of Staten Island host retail showcases of “move-in-ready” storefronts along the Port Richmond commercial corridor.
Businesses located in Port Richmond have the advantage of working with established organizations to help them grow and thrive. “Northfield Community LDC has provided much support to the Port Richmond Board of Trade over the past three decades and we welcome all those interested in locating their businesses here to attend this exciting showcase event. The Port Richmond Avenue commercial district has served many generations of Staten Island residents and we continue to nurture its current potential”, described Joan Catalano, Northfield Community LDC’s Executive Director.
The Port Richmond commercial corridor, once known as “The Fifth Avenue of Staten Island”, is destined for a renaissance. We welcome entrepreneurs, local property owners and real estate industry professionals to join us on our tours.
The event’s program is designed to attract new and diverse businesses to the neighborhood by simplifying an entrepreneur’s search for retail space and providing property owners with a means of advertising their available commercial spaces. With the recent approval of the Ferris Wheel, the Empire Outlets, combined with the Staten Island Yankee Stadium, momentum is building for development of the North Shore waterfront. With views of the waterfront and the Bayonne Bridge, the Port Richmond Corridor is an area rich in history. We are on the cusp of something extraordinary. With visions of art galleries, coffee houses, restaurants, and stores, along the hub, Port Richmond will someday be the “Go To” place for cultural diversity.
Here are some of the businesses we are looking for:
art galleries, coffee cafes, a dance studio, a yoga studio, a thrift shop or goodwill shop, a hardware store, clothing stores, shoe stores, furniture and home furnishings stores, catering halls and restaurants.
