Maglio said, "This is the fifth lease we have arranged at the building and the response from the community has been very positive, on all accounts. We identified the missing uses in the area and executed a targeted marketing plan." Other stores that Consolo, Aquino and Maglio have brought to the building include Sugar Hill Medical Plaza, Unity Wines & Spirits, W Dental and Metro PCS. Among the neighboring retailers are Starbucks, New York Sports Club, Pathmark and Duane Reade. In addition, Bank of America, Capital One Bank and Chase Bank are in the immediate vicinity.
