Northern California Market Region Special Report
The future Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market store at 5800 Third Street (at Carroll Avenue), located in the new '5800 Third Street' residential development in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood, is taking shape in anticipation of its early 2011 opening. Based on our current information, the store could open as early as February 2011, but no later than April of next year.
As you can see in the photograph at top, the outside signs are now on the store, which is the ground floor retail anchor for what will be a 340-unit residential complex when its fully completed. Up to 1,000 residents will eventually call the development home, according to Rick Holliday, the developer.
The first phase of 5800 Third Street, 137 residential units, has been completed. Oakland, California-based Developer Holliday Development says it's currently offering the 137 homes for sale. A few of the units have already been purchased.
Goldman Sachs' Urban Investment Group is the equity partner in the development. Citi Community Capital is the the construction lender for 5800 Third Street.
One bedroom/one bath units are listed starting at $339,000, with two-bedrooms with two-baths starting at $383,000. Three-bedroom flats with two-baths start at $479,000 and three bedroom/three-bath town homes are listed at $539,000. A percentage of the units are available to low-income residents of the neighborhood at significantly reduced prices.
In a series of stories starting in April of this year, we reported that Tesco would announce this summer its plans to open its first batch of Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market stores in Northern California in early 2011.

The 5800 Third Street store in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood is key to Tesco's Northern California launch because it will serve as a "flagship" store of sorts for Fresh & Easy in Northern California.
As we mentioned in a number of the stories linked above, Tesco's Fresh & Easy has started to do interior and exterior work to a number of its first 11 stores in Northern California, which have a February-April 2011 opening time-frame.
Eight of those 11 stores (see addresses here) are going into existing buildings that Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood market is renovating. The two exceptions are the 5800 Third Street unit, which as the retail anchor of the residential housing project is a build-from-the-ground-up store, and the unit in Pacifica, which is new construction, has been completed for over two years.
The 5800 Third Street (at Carrol Avenue) development in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood is part of a larger public-private "new village" development in the area, Carroll Station, that's been in the works for over 10 years.
Carroll Station is named after the island platform light rail station of the the San Francisco Municipal Railway's Muni Metro system, which is located in the median of Third Street at Carroll Avenue in the Bayview district.
The new neighborhood community includes the 5800 Third Street residential development, which will eventually house 1,000 residents when it's built out , along with another similar development called Armstrong Place, which is a town home and senior housing complex.
Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market purchased the 15,000 feet of commercial space at 5800 Third Street for its store.
In addition to the Fresh & Easy fresh food and grocery market the Carroll Station community so far is set to include a restaurant to be operated by Martin and Antonio Castillo, owners of the popular restaurant 'Limon,' which is located in the city's Mission district, along with a new cafe owned by the Delancey Street Foundation, which operates a 300,000 square-foot business training complex at Carroll Station.
The cafe will be called Crossroads Cafe and modeled after a similar cafe of the same name the foundation owns in San Francisco's South Beach neighborhood.
Delancey Street, which was founded by Mimi Silber in San Francisco and is considered an international model, is a residential rehabilitation and training center for ex-offenders, including those with substance abuse addictions. It now has facilities in Los Angeles, New Mexico, North Carolina and New York, along with the San Francisco flagship foundation.
We've said going as far back as early 2008, when Tesco first announced its plans to open a store in the 5800 Third Street at Carroll Avenue development, that it's our analysis the Carroll Station location will be on of Tesco's top five stores in terms of average weekly sales, and likely it's number one grossing store in Northern California, out of the over 50 sites in the region we've identified so far. (See our Northern California Fresh & Easy Store List.)
Look for the opening of the 5800 Third Street store to be used by Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market as its official and formal kick off for its Northern California launch in early 2011.
