Rockville Centre, NY – Q1 2025 — Schuckman Realty kicked off the year with a series of notable achievements and strategic highlights across leadership recognition, retail transformation, industry engagement, and continued national expansion.
Leadership Recognition: Father-Son Power Team Honored
In late January, Schuckman Realty proudly celebrated Founder Stanley H. Schuckman and President Kenneth Schuckman being recognized as a ‘Father/Son Power Team’ at the 2025 Herald Real Estate Achievement and Leadership Awards Gala. This honor reflects more than five decades of sustained success, legacy building, and influence in commercial real estate. Under their leadership, the firm has driven transformative deals—most recently celebrating a milestone relationship with national grocer Lidl—while shaping retail landscapes throughout the New York metro area.
New City Shopping Center Transformation Moves Forward
A cornerstone Q1 milestone came with the grand reopening of ShopRite of New City on February 21, marking a significant phase in the broader redevelopment of the New City Shopping Center in Rockland County. The refreshed ShopRite features expanded departments, modern amenities, and sustainability enhancements such as energy-efficient systems. As exclusive leasing agent, Schuckman Realty continues to attract strong interest across retail, restaurant, medical, and office tenants, with long-term leases already signed or in advanced negotiations.
Industry Engagement: Insights from ICSC OAC 2025
Schuckman Realty’s leadership also participated in the 2025 ICSC Open Air Conference (OAC) in Tampa Bay, gaining timely industry intelligence that reinforces key retail trends shaping the year ahead. Highlights included the resilience of open-air shopping centers, the importance of experiential retail and tenant diversification, and evolving capital markets conditions—insights that are informing ongoing projects like The Shops on Broadway redevelopment.
20th Deal With Lidl Marks Continued National Growth
Q1 also brought recognition of Schuckman Realty’s 20th transaction with Lidl Supermarkets, as the firm facilitated a long-term lease for a significant new ground-floor location in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This milestone deal was selected as a Q1 2025 Powerbroker Award recipient by CoStar, underscoring the strength of Schuckman’s national tenant relationships and brokerage expertise.
