Revitalized Port Chester, N.Y. shopping plaza signs three new tenants

A growing village in Westchester continues to attract more retail.

Real estate investment company Simone Development Companies recently leased more than 4,000 sq. ft. of retail space at Post Road Plaza in Port Chester, N.Y., located in the town of Rye in Westchester County.

Cake franchise Nothing Bundt Cakes has signed a long-term lease for 1,760 sq. ft. in a space formerly occupied by a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant for the last 30 years. They will celebrate their grand opening on April 28.

Expanding franchise European Wax Center, with more than 850 locations nationwide including nearby Hartsdale and New Rochelle, inked a 1,534-sq.-ft. lease and has recently opened for business at Post Road Plaza. Also, Nailed It Spa has signed a new lease for 1,000 sq. ft. with plans to open soon.

The nearly 63,000-sq.-ft. strip center is anchored by a 40,572-sq.-ft. LA Fitness was recently renovated with new pylon signage in progress and free parking for 250 vehicles. There is currently 1,000 sq. ft. of inline retail and a 3,485-sq.-ft. end cap space available at the property.

Joanna Simone, principal and president of leasing and property management operations at Simone Development, arranged the transactions on behalf of ownership, along with Scott Meshil and Karnit Mosberg of Royal Properties, Inc., exclusive leasing agents for Post Road Plaza. Also assisting from Simone Development were Hannah Coyman and Rob Carinci for leasing, and Sean Heneghan and Patrick Doyle for legal.

Located minutes off of I-95 and I-287, with close proximity to the Hutchinson River Parkway, Post Road Plaza is in “one of the most highly trafficked retail corridors in the Northeast,” according to Simone. Existing tenants include Domino's Pizza, Subway, Pet Spa Center, Mattress Firm, Ella's Beauty Lounge, and Wei Wong Kitchen.
