First Look at New Decicco & Sons in Sleepy Hollow, the Company’s Largest in Westchester

It’s not every day your grocery experience includes marble bathrooms, a comfy room for nursing mothers and a large bar with a view of the Tappan Zee aka Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for what DeCicco & Sons offers at its new bi-level Sleepy Hollow store located in the Edge-on-Hudson development.

Set to open at 7:30 a.m., March 28, the sprawling 50,000 square-foot store — the largest in Westchester (only Brewster is bigger) and the second that’s been built from the ground up (Somers was the first) — also features a state of the art enhanced deli section with a carving and smoked meats section, a wider inventory of prepared foods (think more Asian and Latin products), a glass elevator and two events spaces, each of which has its own kitchen.

There’s almost no detail the owners behind the business — brothers John and Joe DeCicco Sr. and sons Chris, Joe Jr. and John Jr. — haven’t thought of, including nods to Sleepy Hollow with a Headless Horseman artistic cutout suspended behind the beer taps and purse pegs under the bar in the shape of the Headless Horseman.

Of course there are also rows and rows of grocery and pantry items.

“It’s uplifting,” said John DeCicco Sr. of the light-filled industrial space that has a cathedral feel thanks to its vaulted ceilings and numerous windows. “The store is so grand, once you’re in here, you won’t want to leave.”

Construction begins on new DeCicco & Sons at Sleepy Hollow’s Edge-on-Hudson community

There’s a lot going on at Edge-on-Hudson in Sleepy Hollow, but for foodies there’s only one thing to know: work on the new family-owned and operated DeCicco & Sons market is in full swing after a host of COVID and supply chain issues slowed them down.

Construction began in August and is expected to be finished in the next 16 months. This will be the company’s 11th store, having locations in Ardsley, Armonk, Bedford, Brewster, Eastchester, Harrison, Larchmont, Millwood, Pelham and Somers.

The new market will deploy a series of green initiatives for both construction and operation and is set to be built to LEED certification standards, keeping energy efficiency at the top of mind. Market operations will include a natural refrigeration system, with heat expelled from refrigeration being recycled for use as the market’s heat and hot water in cold weather months. DeCicco & Sons will also install the company’s largest solar array to date.

The DeCicco & Sons is the first retail construction underway at the expansive 70-acre mixed-use community. The project, located along the Hudson River, has expanded to meet demand. Its first phase — condominiums by Toll Brothers — sold out prior to construction. Also almost sold out: Nearly 92 townhomes. More than 98% of 425 apartment residences have also been leased.

In other culinary news, The Daymark condominium residences, now under construction on the waterfront, will feature the first waterfront restaurant. The restaurant operator has not yet been selected so stay tuned to The Journal News/lohud for details.

Moving into its second phase, the master development team of Biddle Real Estate Ventures and PCD Development announced a series of new retail and residential construction projects on-site. They include:

• The Sales Gallery for waterfront condominium residences at The Daymark opened in July with building completion set for spring 2025. Currently under construction and led by Houston-based Hines as development manager, it’s the first building directly on the waterfront and will add 100 new homes to the community.
• Site work began in August for 90 new townhomes and a clubhouse by Sun Homes. This new neighborhood borders both Kingsland Point Park and the new Tappan Zee Park and features park and river views. Sales are anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2024.
• Plans for a medical office building are set to be presented to the Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board later this fall.
• Planning for new parkland and open space is underway following the opening of phase one of the Sleepy Hollow RiverWalk, which restored access to a section of shoreline that had been closed for more than a century.

Developers Mark Project Milestones at Edge-on-Hudson As Demand Soars for the Mixed-Use Waterfront Community

First Retail Construction Begins with DeCicco & Sons Market Underway

SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. , Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Edge-on-Hudson, the mixed-use, transit-oriented community rising along the banks of the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, NY, has achieved a series of milestones as the project expands construction to meet demand. Four years since home sales began on the expansive 70-acre site along the waterfront, the development has proved to be among the most sought-after in the Metro New York region. In its first phase, all condominium residences by Toll Brothers sold-out prior to construction, as did nearly all of the 92 townhomes offered. More than 98% of the 425 apartment residences at Edge-on-Hudson have been leased. Moving swiftly into its second phase, the master development team of Biddle Real Estate Ventures (BREV) and PCD Development announced a series of new retail and residential construction projects on-site.

• The Sales Gallery for waterfront condominium residences at The Daymark opened in July. Currently under construction, led by Houston-based Hines as development manager, The Daymark is the first building directly on the waterfront at Edge-on-Hudson and will add 100 new homes to the community. The Daymark is expected to be completed in spring 2025
• Site work began in August for 90 new townhomes and a clubhouse by Sun Homes. This new neighborhood borders both Kingsland Point Park and the new Tappan Zee Park and features park and river views. Sales are anticipated to begin in Q1 2024
• Construction of a new 30,000 square-foot DeCicco & Sons Market began in August, located at the community’s entry along Beekman Avenue and Legend Drive
• Plans for a medical office building are set to be presented to the Village of Sleepy Hollow Planning Board in fall 2023
• Planning for new parkland and open space is underway, following the successful opening of Phase 1 of the Sleepy Hollow RiverWalk at Edge-on-Hudson, which restored access to a section of Hudson River shoreline in Sleepy Hollow that had been closed for more than a century

New condominium residences under construction at The Daymark have been a hot commodity at Edge-on-Hudson, with 25% of homes already under contract within just two months of the Sales Gallery’s opening. The first building to be located directly along the waterfront, The Daymark features architectural and interior design by COOKFOX, a leader in biophilic design, and sets a new standard for waterfront living along the Hudson. The Daymark will also include more than 9,000 square feet of retail space, featuring the first waterfront restaurant in the community.

The first retail construction at Edge-on-Hudson began in August as site work for the 11th DeCicco & Sons Market in Westchester County got underway. The market’s striking design recalls the industrial heritage of the region, featuring a brick exterior, a standing seam metal roof, glass and steel cupolas, steel lintels, and clearstory windows. The market’s mezzanine is also set to include a beer garden and restaurant concept.

The DeCicco & Sons Market will deploy a series of green initiatives for both construction and operation and is set to be built to LEED certification standards, keeping energy efficiency at the top of mind. Market operations will include a natural refrigeration system, a non-ozone-depleting refrigerant that DeCicco & Sons was the first to bring to Westchester County. Heat expelled from the refrigeration system will be recycled for use as the market’s heat and hot water in cold weather months. DeCicco & Sons will also install the company’s largest solar array to date.

BREV Managing Member Peter Chavkin commented, “Completion of Phase 1 at Edge-on-Hudson has demonstrated that this community offers best-in-class amenities in residential construction, easy transit access and an extraordinary setting along the Hudson River. The combination is proving very compelling for both buyers and renters.”

Jonathan Stein, Founder and Managing Director of PCD Development, added, “It’s exciting to see retail construction on-site, to compliment new parkland and residences already completed or underway. We look forward to welcoming the DeCicco & Sons Market, as well as a waterfront restaurant at The Daymark, and additional retail and office components currently in design.”

Edge-on-Hudson is located just 25 miles north of Manhattan, within walking distance between two Metro-North train stations (Tarrytown and Philipse Manor), affording express access to Grand Central in just 38 minutes. Edge-on-Hudson is set to include 1,177 townhomes, condos and apartments; a 140-room boutique hotel; 135,000 square feet of retail space and 35,000 square feet of office space, in addition to more than 16 acres of new parkland.
