Adam Ifshin, president of the Tarrytown, NY-based owner, tells GlobeSt.com that the deal with Ross Stores Inc. of Pleasanton, CA has been in the works about one year, swinging into motion roughly six months after a 50,000-sf Tom Thumb was shuttered by its parent, Safeway Inc., also headquartered in Pleasanton. The 17-year-old Whiterock Marketplace, sitting on 16.3 acres at 11255 Garland Rd., is now 70.9% leased.

The 20,000-sf balance of the grocery store box is being marketed for $11 per sf, triple net. Ifshin says other inline openings range from 1,100 sf to 7,200 sf while two pad sites are up for grabs, including Tom Thumb's former fueling station.

"We're doing a real redevelopment here," Ifshin stresses. "After the supermarket closed, some inline tenants went away."
