And the cheese stands alone

From the Queens Chronicle:

Several weeks ago, the rumor that a Chelsea Market-esque space would be coming to Long Island City spread like wildfire but representatives of Jamestown Properties, the owner of the Chelsea Market and the recently acquired Falchi Building on 47th Avenue in LIC, said that isn’t really the case.

The 657,660-square-foot mixed-use Falchi building was acquired by the company in 2012. Construction for the repositioning of the building commenced in September to implement a significant capital improvement program including facade and lobby renovations, furniture upgrades, new art installations and the introduction of new food purveyors to provide amenities for tenants, surrounding offices and institutions in the area.

Artisanal Cheeses, a tenant of the highly popular Chelsea Market, confirmed that they would be opening a shop at the Falchi building which may have sparked the rumor reported by several newspapers that Long Island City would be getting its own Chelsea Market.
