Massive $10M Renovation Project Underway At The Triangle Shopping Center

YORKTOWN, NY — Your next trip to the supermarket will likely look a little different, and more improvements are on the way.

Yorktown officials and representatives of the Triangle Shopping Center gathered on Tuesday morning to survey an ongoing $10 million renovation.

The 208,000-square-foot retail center, located at the intersection of Saw Mill River Road and Maple Hill Street, currently has work crews updating store façades and installing new sidewalks. Planned work also includes repaving the 867-space parking lot, with construction to be completed in the fall.

"We believe in the Town of Yorktown and the economic viability of Yorktown," said Adam Brodsky, director of operations, development, and co-general counsel at The Hakim Organization, which has owned the retail center since the early 1980s. "Yorktown is a dynamic place. With all the additional development that’s going on in town—both on the residential side and the commercial side—we think Yorktown is going to have such magnetism."

Brodsky added that his leasing agents have received interest from prospective tenants, with his company in talks to bring national retailers to the mall.

"We need shopping for our residents, and that helps our property values," Supervisor Ed Lachterman said. "We also need jobs for kids. For example, at Trader Joe’s alone, there are 130 jobs in our community. I'm sure that some of the stores that are possibilities here will hire people, and that's huge,"

Current tenants at the Triangle Shopping Center include an Acme supermarket, Anytime Fitness, Bank of America and Miraggio restaurant.

"I remember when we first spoke before you actually started the construction, you said it's going to be something spectacular and extraordinary, and I got to tell you that it’s shaping up to be something just wonderful," Deputy Town Supervisor Sergio Esposito told Brodsky.

Officials say the investment at the shopping center reflects the rising retailer interest in Yorktown Heights in the area surrounding the "now booming" Yorktown Green Shopping Center, which has undergone a renaissance that has attracted national retailers, local restaurants, and thousands of shoppers.

"I thank you and your team for reinvesting in Yorktown," Councilman Patrick Murphy said to Brodsky. "Yorktown is a destination now because of people like you."
