    Whole Foods starts fitting out its ground-floor space as a $700 million school-and-tower project rises on the site

    In December 2011 the World-Wide Group announced that construction for the Whole Foods market was complete, and the grocer had moved into its 39,000-square-foot ground-floor space and begun fitting it out.

The roughly $700 million, million-square-foot project, a partnership with the city's Educational Construction Fund, was to include a residential tower, 78,000 square feet of other retail and two new schools, the High School of Art and Design and PS 59.
