Cross County Tinkers with $250M Plan

YONKERS-While some redevelopment work is under way at the property, the ownership of the Cross County Shopping Center has made some revisions to its $250-million improvement plan. The original redevelopment initiative was approved by the city last November. However, after discussions with the property’s existing retailers and re-thinking the plan’s components, a revised plan was filed last month and presented to the Yonkers Planning Board earlier this month.

Robert Ryan, general manager of the Cross County Shopping Center, says the property owner Brooks Shopping Centers LLC, has decided to go away from new big-box oriented space and add new multi-tenant buildings geared to smaller tenants. In addition, one of the property’s chief anchor’s Macy’s is looking to expand its more than 250,000-sf store by another 75,000 sf. In the original plan, Macy’s was to expand its store by 50,000 sf. Construction has commenced on the façade improvements on some of the existing retail stores at the center.

The redevelopment project will add a total of 245,375 sf to the more than one-million-sf shopping center, which now consists of 960,773 sf of retail space ad 60,200 sf of office space. The center, which was built in 1954, is anchored by Macy’s, Sears, Super Stop & Shop, National Amusement Multiplex Theater and Old Navy.
