STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A new shopping complex -- being built in New Dorp by the Savo Brothers -- will house a Chipotle Mexican Grill, Retro Fitness, Investor's Bank, AT&T store and The Vitamin Shoppe, according to the architect for the project.

The yet-to-be named shopping complex is expected to be complete in four to six months, said Lenny Rampulla, principal of the New Dorp-based Rampulla Associates Architects, who designed the project.

According to Rampulla, the owners and developers of the property are Bruno and Savino Savo, who are also developing townhomes on the former Mount Manresa site in Fort Wadsworth.

THE DESIGN

The New Dorp site, which formerly housed a Pontiac Dealership, will have entryways on Hylan Boulevard and from the New Dorp Post Office parking lot, which is adjacent to the site, said Rampulla.

The design plans include a free-standing, 30,720-square-foot building that will house Retro Fitness on the second floor, and another retailer on the first floor, said Rampulla.

Another building of 8,700 square-feet will house Chipolte, AT&T and the Vitamin Shoppe. A third building of 2,550-square-feet will house Investor's Bank, said Rampulla.

"Everything has been designed to utilize the light. That's why we redesigned the parking lot and entryway to the post office," he said, referring to the recently redesigned New Dorp Post office parking lot.

Rampulla said the new shopping complex will have a modern, "sleek" design.

They (The Savo Brothers) are getting away from the traditional look, and to their credit, they are going a little more clean and sleek," added Rampulla. "There will be metal panels and more of a stainless steel look -- all metal skin."

UNDERGROUND PARKING

In addition to the stores, the developers are constructing an underground parking facility that will accommodate 113 cars at grade level and 170 cars below ground.

"They are building the underground parking facility now and all the site utilities are in. In another four to six months it should be complete," said Rampulla.
