“We are pleased to have acquired another shopping center in our core marketplace. The center is well located between the Merritt Parkway and Stamford’s growing and vibrant Central Business District. Stamford has emerged as an important economic hub of Fairfield County and a 24/7 city, highlighted by impressive apartment growth totaling upwards of 3,600 units built since 2010 with an additional 5,000 units planned,” commented Willing Biddle, president & CEO of Urstadt Biddle Properties.
High Ridge Road is a highly populated location in a main area of the city. Surrounded by major retailers such as Trader Joes, Mrs. Green’s, Acme Market, CVS, Walgreens and Starbucks, this area is seen as one of the most sought after retail destinations in the state, according to Zach Fox, vice president of Acquisitions. “Historically, this area has had a very low vacancy rate. This will be a strong, low risk investment for UBP for years to come. Owners know we can close quickly and quietly, and this turned out to be one of our smoothest transactions to date.”
