Heidenberg Properties Group to Redevelop Retail Property in Mahopac, New York

by Amy Works December 6, 2016

MAHOPAC, N.Y. — Heidenberg Properties Group has received final site-plan approval by the planning board of the town of Carmel for the renovation and expansion of Lake Plaza Shopping Center in Mahopac, a hamlet within Carmel. The redevelopment plan includes the demolition of an existing 24,000-square-foot Key Food supermarket and 7,800-square-foot CVS/pharmacy. That will clear room for a 54,000-square-foot Stop & Shop resulting in a new building footprint more than 20,000 square feet larger than the two existing stores. Additionally, the overall retail center will expand from 141,000 square feet to 165,000 square feet. The project also includes the renovation of the façade, repaving of the parking area and upgraded site lighting. Heidenberg Properties plans to start construction in spring 2017.
