A Group of Updates

Time for updates.  Some new small businesses opening up in the area and a few other items.  Since everyone likes the group updates better than individual ones I will keep doing it this way unless its a major tenant.



- Starbucks has been added to the tenant list at the Shoppes at Apple Greene in Dunkirk.


- There are a few used car lots coming to White Plains.  Lux Auto is taking over the GRD cycle location at Demarr Road and Crain Hwy who has moved down to the Atlantic Cycle and Power building.  National Auto is taking over the former construction rental place next to Sunbelt rental on Crain Hwy.

- Little Fish Seafood is coming soon to St. Patrick's Centre 173 St Patrick's drive in Waldorf.  No opening date yet.

- Metropolitan Security and Surveillance is open at 2477 Crain Highway in Waldorf in the Holly Tree Center near Popeye's.

- Indulging Hands Therapy coming soon to Tower Plaza Shopping Center in White Plains.  10583 Middleport Lane next to Mexico Restaurant.

- Southern Tire is building a new store and relocating to 131 St. Patrick's Drive near Goodyear.  It just broke ground recently so it will take some time.



We have several new tenants for our new office building at 5010 Regency Place in the White Plains Corporate Center:
Fitzgerald Management
Kids by the Bay Dental
QCI Behavioral Health
National Spine and Pain Centers
All are starting their build outs and we will announce openings as they are complete.  If you are looking to lease office space let me know.  Space is still available.
