NEW YORK CITY — Target Corp. has signed a 15-year lease with Muss Development for 20,795 square feet of space at 7000 Austin Street, a mixed-use property located in the Forest Hills section of Queens. The new flexible-format store — the first in the city — is slated to open in mid-2016. The two-story Target will feature an assortment of goods tailored to city dwellers, including fresh groceries, a pharmacy, health and beauty necessities, tech accessories, electronics and home goods designed for single-family homes and condos. Target will take the space currently occupied by Barnes & Noble, which declined to exercise an extension option. Additional tenants at the fully leased property include Starbucks Coffee, Men’s Wearhouse, Eddie Bauer, TITLE Boxing Club and T.G.I. Friday’s. Jeffrey Howard and Doug Weinstein of Ripco Real Estate represented Target, while Muss Development had in-house representation for the transaction.
