Keith Rubenstein’s Somerset Partners are expanding his food halls business. After Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, on Wednesday the real estate developer purchased a warehouse at 9 Bruckner Boulevard in the South Bronx, for $7.5 million.

Halman Enterprises had owned the Bronx warehouse site since 1997. It is located near a residential complex Rubinstein is already developing in partnership with the Chetrit Group – on 2401 Third Avenue and 101 Lincoln.

The new market will include restaurants, a fresh food market, an outdoor beer garden and, possibly, even a microbrewery. The new Bruckner Market should open within 12 to 18 months.
