New Seasons Market confirmed Monday it has finalized paperwork for a new Woodstock location.

Dec. 18, citing city documents. The grocer did not return requests for comment at the time. But in a news release Monday, the chain acknowledged that the plan was moving forward and provided some new details.

The store will be located at the corner of Southeast Woodstock Boulevard and Southeast 45th Avenue, where the former Wood Pro Beauty Center, Putters Bar and Woodstock Wellness Center now stand.

The 25,000-square-foot store will have three levels: Underground parking for 56 cars, the street-level store and rooftop features, including a semi-closing dining area, according to a release from the grocer. There will be stairs and an elevator to all three levels.

New Seasons will lease the site from John Reinholt of Woodstock Retail II, LLC, according to the release, and LRS Architects will design the building. The new store will create 150 new jobs, and the grocer aims to fill as many as possible with people from the surrounding neighborhoods.

Development will begin in July 2014, according to the release, and the store will open in late summer 2015.
