Commercial Leasing Activity Reflects Continued Business Growth Across the Region

Several recent commercial lease transactions in Westchester County highlight continued demand for industrial, retail, and service-oriented space as businesses expand and invest in local communities.


Houlihan Lawrence Commercial recently announced four lease transactions totaling nearly 10,000 square feet across Westchester and Fairfield counties, including several properties within HGAR's market area.


In New Rochelle, Peeler Door Company leased 5,550 square feet of industrial space at 33 Portman Road. Located near the New Rochelle-Larchmont border with convenient access to I-95, the property supports the continued demand for industrial and flex space in the region.



In Croton-on-Hudson, Acceleration Dance LLC leased 2,000 square feet at Post Road Plaza, establishing a new dance studio at the neighborhood shopping center. With the addition of the studio, the building's second floor is now fully occupied by a mix of professional and service-oriented businesses, including a hair studio, med spa, and music school.


Port Chester also saw new leasing activity as Archwood One LLC, a custom cabinet and glass shower manufacturer, leased 950 square feet of retail space at 306 Midland Avenue.


While the individual transactions vary in size and use, they collectively reflect continued business investment throughout the region. From industrial users and manufacturers to fitness, arts, and personal service providers, these leases demonstrate the diverse range of businesses seeking commercial space in local communities.


For commercial practitioners, the activity serves as another indication that well-located industrial, retail, and mixed-use properties continue to attract tenants despite ongoing economic uncertainty. Smaller lease transactions often provide an important measure of local business confidence and neighborhood economic vitality.


As municipalities across the Hudson Valley focus on economic development and business attraction, occupancy gains and tenant expansions remain positive indicators for local commercial real estate markets.
