WEST CHESTER, PA—Expanding its retail footprint in the greater Philadelphia marketplace, Levin Management has been named leasing and managing agent for the 161,000-square-foot Bradford Plaza shopping center here.

The property at 700 Downingtown Pike is anchored by Giants Foods and is home to Petco, Dollar Tree and Walgreens; it also includes a Giant Fuel Station, a Pennsylvania Wine and Spirits store, and a mix of local retailers. At present, Levin is marketing several vacancies ranging in size from 1,750 square feet to 7,900 square feet, including a pad site.

“West Chester is an affluent Philadelphia suburb with strong demographics,” says Robert Carson of North Plainfield, NJ-based Levin. “Bradford Plaza is a well-maintained, well-positioned retail destination. The management transition provides an opportunity to execute a strategic management and leasing program that will draw key tenants and increase the center's occupancy.”

Levin's other leasing and management assignments in the greater Philadelphia include ShopRite-anchored Morrell Plaza in Northeast Philadelphia and The Shops at Blue Bell in Blue Bell, also anchored by Giant Foods.

“The Philadelphia market is a great place to be, and we are pleased to grow our regional presence,” says Joseph Lowry, Levin's director of acquisitions and business development. “Our familiarity with the regional market, its tenants and service contractors provided us with an advantage in winning the Bradford Plaza assignment.”
