DOBBS FERRY - Rivertowns Square, a mixed-use mega development just west of the Saw Mill River Parkway's Exit 16, is getting a grocery store called Brooklyn Market.

Saber Chauncey Dobbs Ferry Partners, the owner of Rivertowns Square, announced Monday that it has finalized a lease with the grocer, whose operation includes Brooklyn Harvest Markets in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section.

Marty Berger, managing member of Saber Chauncey, said the Rivertowns Square owners had considered several supermarkets and gourmet food stores for the complex's 18,000-square-foot section just south of the Danforth luxury apartments.

"We chose Brooklyn Market because they consistently demonstrated their ability to deliver quality at every turn and provide customers with incredible service in all of their eight locations," Berger said in a statement. "Yes, there are other markets that have produce and products almost as fresh as Brooklyn Market, but none with the level of service the founders of Brooklyn Market demand."

The owner of Brooklyn Market did not return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday.

But according to Saber Chauncey, Brooklyn Market has filed for building permits and plans to open a new store by the end of the year. The store will feature full butcher, seafood and gourmet counters with specialties from its Brooklyn and on-premises kitchens. The market will also offer a full selection of gluten-free products.

Along with the grocery store, the Rivertowns Square complex features 202 luxury apartments, a 138-room Hilton Garden Inn, an iPic luxury movie theater, a daycare center, an urgent care center, restaurants, retail stores and 750-plus free parking spaces.
