Brixmor Property Group signs grocery-anchor at Highridge Plaza

Yonkers, N.Y. -- Brixmor Property Group announced it has strengthened its tenant offering at Highridge Plaza in Yonkers, New York, with the addition of Hmart, an Asian-American supermarket chain. Hmart is scheduled to open a 41,764-sq.-ft. store in fourth quarter 2016.

“There has been a lot of interest in our community for a high-quality grocer to join Highridge Plaza, and we are thankful for Brixmor’s ability to bring our neighborhood a leading supermarket chain like Hmart,” said Mike Spano, Mayor of Yonkers, New York. “Hmart is one of the top-15 fastest growing retailers in National Retail Federation’s list of Hot 100 Retailers, and its presence is a nice complement to the diverse mix of prominent national and local retailers already operating at Highridge Plaza.”



Hmart is a 34-year-old supermarket chain, started with the first store in Woodside, NY back in 1982, offering robust and unique food culture that also promotes a rich and healthy lifestyle. Today, Hmart has over 50 stores in 11 states.



"Highridge Plaza is one of our core properties and a premier shopping center in lower Westchester County, and it was important for us to quickly fill the void in this market for a strong grocer offering a variety of cuisine and food options,” said Barry Rodenstein, president, North Region, of Brixmor Property Group. “We are pleased to announce this agreement with Hmart so soon after Pathmark’s departure. This will have a positive impact on Highridge Plaza, drawing thousands of customers per week while providing Yonkers with a top-tier grocer to serve the community.”
