Another space leased and another shopping center fully filled. It’s always a great feeling helping a landlord bring the right mix of tenants together and seeing a center come to life.

Congrats to the new watch & jewelry store at 2602 Merrick Rd, Bellmore on their new home with a 5-year lease.

On to the next one.

Need it leased or sold? Call us for the close!
