Brooklyn-based grocery chain Dumbo Market will open its first location in Queens at the base of a residential building early next year.

Dumbo Market signed a 15-year lease for 13,500 square feet on the ground floor of Jasper, a 550,000-square-foot residential development being built at 2-33 50th Avenue in the Hunters Point neighborhood of Long Island City, according to the developers.

Dumbo Market is looking to move into Jasper, a $370 million mixed-use development in Hunter's Point.

Jasper, the big, mixed-use project rising on the Hunters Point waterfront, caught a big one for its retail portion. Dumbo Market, a gourmet food emporium that’s currently operating as Urban Market in a building across the street, signed a lease for a 13,500 square-foot store on Jasper’s ground floor. To be run by the same team as Urban’s, which the Dumbo Market will replace, it will open in twice as much space as its predecessor’s in early 2025 when the $370 million project’s rental apartments open.

After renting their first New York apartment sight unseen, they decided to take a new place in the South Bronx with eyes wide open. Altin Sencalar’s timing could hardly have been worse. “New York is the destination for jazz,” said Mr. Sencalar, a jazz trombonist. So a year and a half ago, he and his wife, Marina Sencalar, signed on — sight unseen — to an apartment in Washington Heights. Mr. Sencalar planned to perform and teach, as he had done in his native Texas. “The day I moved here was the day I got called to go on tour with Michael Bublé,” he said. For months the couple’s $2,350 three-bedroom apartment sat mostly unused, an expensive storage unit. Ms. Sencalar remained in Texas with her parents.
