New Tenants Announced At Shopping Center In Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — Two new tenants have been announced to move into the Marketplace in Hamden later this year. Ulta Health and Beauty Products, which is relocating from North Haven, will move into the former Modell’s space, according to Dale Kroop, Hamden’s director of economic and neighborhood development. Ulta sells hair, skin, bath and body products as well as beauty services for women of all ages.

Orangetheory Fitness will move into the remaining space formerly occupied by TJ Max, next to Platos Closet, according to Kroop. Orangetheory Fitness customizes workouts and nutrition plans in a group format while showing the physiological results on heart and health monitors throughout the gym.

“It’s a great sign for the Hamden economy when vacancies are filled so quickly,” Mayor Curt Balzano Leng said. “We’re seeing an unquestionable spark of interest in our community, bringing a diverse range of commercial choices to our residents - good for our tax base and our neighborhoods.”

Marketplace is at the corner of Dixwell Avenue and Skiff Street. Other current tenants include Staples, Stop and Shop, Pier One Imports and Old Navy among others. Marketplace was developed in the early 1990s. This center was purchased by the Wilder Companies in 2016 for more than $52 million dollars.

“We are really pleased about the strength of the retail market in our primary shopping district,” Kroop said. “This results in another one of our five main centers that is now 100 percent occupied. With these tenants, the developer also shows that it knows the strength of our marketplace in terms of demographics and shopping habits.”
