The acquisition of Oak Park Commons, which is 98 percent occupied, marks ShopOne’s entry into the New York City MSA. Situated at the corner of Oak Tree Road and Park Avenue, the ACME Markets-anchored property features a diverse mix of national and local retailers including CVS, Advance Auto Parts, Goodyear Tire, Dollar Tree, McDonald’s and Wells Fargo Bank.
