EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Atlantic Capital Partners is pleased to present this exclusive opportunity to acquire 299 S Main Street in Elmira, New York, offering a high-impact retail center with significant lease upside. Currently ±19% occupied by industry-leading tenants such as Dollar Tree and H&R Block, this perfectly positioned shopping center includes substantial growth potential through the leasing of a 77,000-square-foot anchor space formerly occupied by Tops Markets.
Spanning a total of 98,330 square feet originally built in 1996, 299 S Main Street has been well-maintained and is positioned to bring exceptional value for a new owner.

An outparcel at the site is occupied by national brands such as Pizza Hut, Zoomtan, and AT&T, while an Aldi and Family Dollar sit directly across the street. The building’s convenient proximity to downtown Elmira also allows for added customer traffic traveling from the area’s most visited destinations, including the LECOM Event Center, the Clemens Center, the Arnot Art Museum, and St. Joseph’s Hospital.
