New Rochelle Showroom - VERY Close to IONA College

This new to market showroom has all the fixin's to become a very nice addition to the North Ave. corridor in New Rochelle.

3300 sf with a flying ceiling - no posts !

Terrific storage capacity at the rear of the store.

Walking distance to IONA College

Neighbors include CVS, a laundromat, numerous restaurants.

Ideally this would be perfect for 99cent store, appliance or furniture retailer.

Spring Valley Marketplace - Rockland

What a fantastic mall ! The anchors are something out of a who's who.

Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Micheal's, David's Bridal, IHOP, T.J. Maxx and Carter's as well as other smaller companies that make this a great location for shoppers who don't want to deal with the parking hassles or the masses that go to the Palisade.

The Spring Valley Marketplace is one of the more user friendly shopping centers. With only 3 vacancies left, this mall will fill quickly.

What is left is 1950 sf between the IHOP and TJ Maxx. As well as 1100sf between Christmas Tree Shops and Verizon and just to right of Verizon is another 2600 sf that used to belong to Omni Fitness.

The big noticable problem is that beside IHOP (#24) and Subway (#3) there are no other food establishments.

RSS Feed for "Business in the 'Burbs" is gone.

So, if anybody has been looking at the blog for the last few weeks, perhaps you've noticed that the RSS feed for lohud.com's "Business in the 'burbs" has kinda stopped feeding me new news.
I emailed into the Journal News to ask why new news items had stopped for this feed.
Pretty much, the guys who ran the local news feed were let go.

That said (or written), I now need to go out and find a new retail or business news source for my blog, because I'd like to make it more than just pictures of properties I represent or know about.

So, if anyone has a good retail news sites that offers an RSS feed, let me know.

Monday Scorcher

So its Monday the 10th of August and finally the hot summertime weather is here.

The Yankees just finished sweeping the Red Sox 4 games this weekend and are now 6.5 games up.

The frenzy for 671 Yonkers has gone unabated. Unfortunatly, nobody seems to have a good idea for the space. Lots of people want to re-open the pharmacy, a few people have asked to split it up so they could take the luncheon counter and turn it into a deli.

The White Plains office building is getting some inqury from a dentist consortium.

NAI Global has a "site analytics" report coming to us about what to do on S. Broadway in Yonkers. Should be interesting when it arrives.

Got any questions ?

Friday Questions

So its Friday July 31 2009. The summer is rapidly coming to an end. There have been minor upticks in the economy as of late and the market is on fire.
The price of oil has remained above $60 a barrel.

Lets talk about commercial rents in the lower Westchester area.
It looks like landlords are interested in making a deal just to fill their spaces.
There seems to be a lot of space available these days.
From Central Park Ave. to Broadway to S. 4th Ave. in Mt Vernon. Prices have come down about 10-15%

Retailers looking to move into the area ? Ashley Furniture is taking space in New Rochelle. The old Home Depot Expo in New Rochelle is going to be a massive Supervalu supermarket. The biggest play will probably be the former Fortunoff space at the Source - 1 Maple Ave. White Plains.

On the move these days seems be pharmacies, delis and other "mom & pop" style shops. This is a great time for people with 2 or 3 shops to go to 5 because rents that were previously too high.

If anyone knows where to get commercial paper, let me know.

Stay in touch, contact me if you want to chat or ask questions. lklein@friedlandrealty.com
