HELL’S KITCHEN — A 29,000-square-foot Target with a pick-up ordering service is heading to 10th Avenue.

The retail chain plans to open a store at 615 10th Ave., between West 44th and West 45th streets, by the summer of 2019, it said in a release.

Developer Xinyuan Real Estate recently purchased the lot — which was home to one of the last gas stations in Manhattan — with plans to build a retail and residential complex there.

The new Target will open at the base of a “high-end residential condominium” that a Xinyuan subsidiary is developing, Target said in its release.

“We’re pleased to be part of this terrific residential development near Times Square and the Theater District, and we look forward to serving more guests in Manhattan with this new store,” Target’s senior vice president of properties said in a statement.

The store will sell men’s and women’s clothing, home goods, groceries — including fresh produce — health and beauty wares, technology products and other items, the release said.

It will also have a “Target Mobile” cell phone store and a service that allows patrons to order items in advance and pick them up on-site, the release added.

Target recently opened a location in Tribeca, and plans to open a store in the East Village.
