Joins Thriving Retail Tenants at Hillside Plaza Shopping Center
NEW YORK CITY, NY – February 9, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — RadioShack, one of the world’s largest consumer electronics retailers, has opened a new store in the Kew Gardens section of Queens, according to Frank Zuckerbrot, president of Sholom & Zuckerbrot, the managing and exclusive leasing agents for Hillside Plaza Shopping Center.
RadioShack has taken 2,250 square feet of a 4,500-square-foot space formerly occupied by a Blockbuster Video store for a long-term lease. The 25,000-square-foot shopping center is located at the convergence of Hillside and Metropolitan Avenues and 126th Street. RadioShack was represented in the deal by Olympia Court Realty.
“Hillside Plaza Shopping Center was developed by our affiliate, Octagon Properties LLC, in 1996, and many of its tenants – including Blockbuster – have been here since inception,” says Mr. Zuckerbrot, who represented the landlord in the deal together with Marc Geller. “We’ve always cultivated a complimentary mix of retailers at Hillside Plaza, and RadioShack will only contribute further to that one-stop-shopping atmosphere.”
S&Z also has overseen the renewal of a 2,080-square-foot space for original Hillside Plaza tenant Petland Discounts. The remaining 2,250 square feet of end-cap space that Blockbuster occupied is currently available for rent.
