Newly restored 566 East Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck is a visual landmark along Boston Post Road / U.S. Route 1 retail and business corridor.

In the 1920’s, when the famous New York City Fifth Avenue retailer Best and Company expanded this Westchester County location, this site was selected as ideal due to its high visibility and proximity to the affluence of Rye, Larchmont and Greenwich.

Massey Knakal broker John Barrett commented that “the property is designed in a classic manner and has a stunning edifice that will enhance the image of any user who acquires it.”

The property has 2 full floor plates of 9,000 +/- SF along with three penthouse office suites (3,500 +/- SF) offering views of the harbor. Past uses have included retail and office as well as the current tenant an antiques dealer showroom. The total building size is approximately 21,500 SF. The property has a new elevator along with upgraded and enhanced electric service and offers off street parking for 24 vehicles.
