Expressway Plaza Gets 60,000-SF Anchor Tenant

NEW YORK CITY-In a eight-day turnaround, a vacant space at the 95,000-square-foot Expressway Plaza shopping center on Staten Island secured a new anchor tenant. National supermarket chain Stop & Shop has taken a long-term 60,000-square-foot lease at 1441 Richmond Ave. in the Graniteville section of the borough.

“It was done very quickly,” says Gregory Kalikow, vice president at the Kalikow Group, in an interview with GlobeSt.com. “Expressway Plaza has always been a prime supermarket location,” he adds, noting that anchor space was formerly home to a Waldbaum’s and most recently, a King Kullen.  “It caters to that stable, middle-class community with diverse ethnicities,” he says.
