“The activity we’re seeing at White Plains Plaza is incredibly exciting,” said Anthony DiTommaso, Ivy Realty’s co-CEO. “The improvements to the buildings have really helped with the leasing.”

White Plains Plaza is near shopping and dining, and offers access to I-287 and the Bronx River Pwy., as well as provides a shuttle to the nearby Metro North station. Amenities include in-complex banking, restaurants, common areas, storage and parking.

“The buildings’ best-in-class facilities and robust amenities package make this property a great space to do business,” said Walsh. “The ease of access and centrality to White Plains’ commercial district combined with the kind of tenant-friendly approach that Ivy Realty brings are hard to beat in the market.”
