YONKERS, NY — A new retail store will be opening at the Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers and one that has been there has renewed for a decade.

The national retailer Target signed a 40-year lease to takeover the 130,000-square-foot space that was once a Sears store.

H&M signed a 10-year renewal for its 28,000 square-foot-space where the retailer will incorporate its upscale SOHO concept.

According to a spokesperson, shopping center has been rebranded as Cross County Center.

Craig Deitelzweig, president and CEO of Marx Realty, which took over leasing and management of the center earlier this year, said there is a lot of excitement in the area about Target coming to Cross County.

“As the retail sector emerges from the COVID-19 crisis, we have seen extraordinary foot traffic at the center showing pent-up demand to experience the diverse retail, dining and entertainment offerings,” he said in a prepared statement.

Cross County is the nation’s first open-air shopping center, with such stores as Macy’s, Armani Exchange, GAP, Michael Kors, Old Navy and Victoria’s Secret.

Marx Realty has been in talks to fill the space Sears vacated since it closed in 2019.

The new Target will be the first in the city of Yonkers.

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said the city’s planning and development staff worked with Marx Realty to bring a “town square” concept to the center’s open-air design.

“Yonkers has hit the mark with Target’s plan for a new store at Cross County Center,” he said in a prepared statement.

“Target’s decision to invest in our city is a testament to the retailer’s confidence in our thriving economy and our business-friendly environment,” Spano said.
