Park Slope’s Key Food Is A Giant Hole In The Ground: What's Going On?

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A giant hole in the ground in Park Slope has its own website.

But 120 Fifth Ave. isn't just any yawning chasm — the site used to be the neighborhood's Key Food and soon will be the location of a 180-unit development and new grocery store.

Developers behind the project recently launched a website to give locals updates on what's going on in the hole.

"The project’s construction team is committed to conducting work on the site in a manner that is responsible and respectful of the community while working to complete this project as expeditiously as possible and deliver the new supermarket and affordable housing units by 2024," the site states.

The closure of Key Food was bemoaned by many in the neighborhood who lost a nearby large grocery.

The developers behind the project promised to replace it with another grocery — and since scored a deal to bring the discount grocer Lidl to the site.

For now, Park Slopers have yet to see much other than a fence, a blocked sidewalk and aforementioned hole.

But, as the website notes, crews this month will continue work on the project's foundation, install drilled concrete shafts in the ground and cart excavated material from the site.
