Vanguard-Fine has had a long-standing relationship with the sellers. They worked closely with them for over 25 years to help build their portfolio of properties and investments.

The Home Depot, Hannaford Supermarket and the adjacent Plaza are located on Southside Highway (NY-28) in Oneonta. In the plaza, the property has national and regional tenants such as, NBT Bank, Dollar Tree, Sherwin Williams, Liquor Depot and Bassett Medical.
