Report: New retail building planned for Queens

Queens, N.Y. — A new retail building is reportedly planned for the site of a former adult entertainment club in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens. According to the Queens Chronicle, a 20,000-sq.-ft. building will occupy the location once occupied by the Goldfingers nightclub, which has been shuttered since 1999.

Prospective tenants include the first drive-thru Starbucks store in Queens and a gym. Site developer Atlas Projects has agreed to a 49-year lease with an option for an additional 49 years, worth $40 million with landlord Andon Investments. The building is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2015.
