No Tenant for New Building at 1 Palmer Road

Surprised neighbors noticed a "for rent" sign posted in front of the new building at 1 Palmer Road this week and wondered what had happened to the deal with kosher food purveyor Seasons who was supposed to move into the new 11,000 square foot building.

We called the leasing agent Ross Berkowitz and learned that the agreement with Season's is off. They reneged on the lease as the developer was delayed in completing the building -- and now this much discussed property is without a tenant.

Though Seasons would not offer confirmation, rumor has it that Gristedes in the Golden Horseshoe Shopping Center is due to close and Seasons will move into that site instead. The supermarket space has the advantage of being on all one level with outdoor parking rather than the below grade parking lot at 1 Palmer Avenue.

What now for 1 Palmer Avenue? The realtor is looking for two to three tenants to take over the 11,000 square feet of space on two levels. Berkowitz mentioned a bank, another food store or perhaps a yoga studio as possibilities.

It certainly seems ironic that after years of discussion, dissension and planning, the new structure could stand empty at a highly congested and contested intersection in Scarsdale.
