City Center is a 381,905±square-foot, grocery-anchored, trophy mixed-use retail and apartment property located in the heart of downtown White Plains. The property is fully leased and anchored by a high profile tenant mix, including ShopRite Supermarkets, Toys ‘R Us (estimated occupancy March 2013), Nordstrom Rack, National Amusements (15-screen theater), Barnes & Noble and New York Sports Club. The Center is shadow-anchored by a 154,241±sq.-ft. Target P-Fresh store, which was not included in the sale. The sale included 99-year air rights over the parking garage, which houses the New York Sports Club and 24 fully leased, in-demand residential apartment units.
City Center’s epicenter location, with frontage on Main Street, Martine Avenue and Mamaroneck Avenue, is surrounded by several recently developed apartment and condominium projects totaling more than 1,000 units, including The Residences at the Ritz Carlton and Trump Tower at City Center. With population growth of more than 15% since 2000 within a one-mile radius and average household incomes of nearly $140,000 within five miles, City Center will continue to be a primary shopping and entertainment destination.
Mr. Dunne commented: “City Center will provide the new partnership with stable in-place income due to anchor tenants’ long-term leases, while providing upside through contractual rent increases. The significant foot traffic generated as a result of ShopRite opening last year will be further enhanced by Toys ‘R Us opening at the Center in the spring of 2013.”
