JAY-Z is set to reopen his famous and exclusive 40/40 Club at a new location in New York City.

It’s always been the plan to open a new spot,” 40/40 Club vice president of operations Sheldon Robinson told Us Weekly. “Finding the right location that makes sense to the brand is key, and that takes some time. We’ve narrowed it down to our last few choices and now we’re in the negotiation phase.”

Robinson added, “Hopefully by the end of this year we’ll have a lease signed and we can break ground. The idea is that we’ll have a club in 2025.”

Robinson also mentioned that JAY-Z has been very involved in the process, and that he: “definitely wants to keep it as part of his legacy.”

The news comes as Hov is set to temporarily reopen the club exclusively for Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Fest NYC this weekend.

The two-day festival, to be held at the Jacob Javits Center from August 16 to 18, will see the famous sports bar authentically recreated for fans in attendance

According to a press release, attendees can expect an atmosphere that pays tribute to the club in its heyday, complete with framed sports jerseys, grand chandeliers and stadium seating as well as food and drink inspired by its original menu.
