The Harrison Shopping Center is located on Halstead Avenue in the affluent community of Harrison, New York (Westchester County). The 25,000 square foot shopping center is anchored by an A&P Fresh Supermarket which will most likely be replaced by a prominent grocer, subject to bankruptcy court approval. Other long-term tenants in the shopping center include a bakery, a hair salon, a florist, restaurants and AT&T. The shopping center was built in 1957 by the selling family and has been a mainstay in downtown Harrison for generations.

Willing Biddle, President of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. said, “We are very pleased that we continue to acquire grocery-anchored shopping centers in the metro-NY market in a challenging acquisitions environment. Harrison is an important commuter town and we now own the best position in town, directly across from the Metro-NY train station with express service to Manhattan.” James Aries, Director of Acquisitions at Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. adds, “Our long-standing relationship with the selling family which began in a management role, enabled us to close on this acquisition quickly and quietly which was critical to the selling family. Harrison is less than 10 miles from our home office in Greenwich, CT and we look forward to making improvements to the center which will largely be driven by the replacement grocer.”
