Construction is underway on a two-building, 58,000-square-foot retail expansion of Cross County Center, an open-air shopping complex at 8000 Mall Walk in Yonkers, Westchester County. The 1.15 million-square-foot property opened in 1954 with 30 stores. The expansion was designed by TPG Architecture and is being developed by Marx Realty.
The expansion will rise on the property’s north lot and consist of a 14,000-square-foot single-story building and a 44,000-square-foot two-story structure. Plans call for the larger building to house a super-flagship location for a national apparel retailer. The development will also include underground parking, new vertical transportation systems, and the repositioning of existing tenants to accommodate both new and current retailers. Infrastructure work related to the expansion is currently in progress.
In addition to the retail component, Marx Realty will create a 4-acre park designed to function as a central gathering space within the complex. The park will feature an allée of trees, varied seating areas, and flexible space for seasonal programming such as farmers’ markets, summer events, and wellness activities. An adjacent boardwalk with café-style seating and shaded areas will serve as a new primary entrance to the center, marked by prominent signage and enhanced landscaping.
Cross County Center is located at the intersection of Cross County Parkway and Interstate 87. The property is accessible via the Metro-North Railroad’s Yonkers Station, which connects to Grand Central Terminal.
