New Businesses Coming To Needham Street Village Shops In Newton

NEWTON, MA — If you've driven down Needham Street in the past few years you've likely noticed that not all of the storefronts available at the Needham Street Village Shops, which opened in 2014, have been filled.

Well, that's about to change. Three businesses, a bank, a dentist's office and Beal Bank USA, Dr. Alex Smolyar, DMD, and an eyelash extension salon will join Partners Health Care, T-Mobile, Relax the Back and b.good at the Needham Street Village Shops; leaving only two leasing vacancies remaining, according to the developer.

Bierbrier Development, a Lexington based owner and manager of shopping centers in Eastern MA, announced Thursday that the three businesses had signed leases and would be filling in a chunk of the vacancies that have plagued the shopping area for the past four years.

Beal Bank, headquartered in Dallas, TX will lease the 1,947 square foot endcap. The bank is one of the largest private financial institutions in country.

Dr. Alex Smolyar, DMD, and Newton resident will lease 2,642 square feet for his new multi-specialty dental practice. Smolyar is starting out on his own after he practiced with Gentle Dental for more than 20 years. His practice is slated to open this Fall.

And then there's Deka Lash. The lash extension service salon is slated to open a 1,173 square feet studio this Fall as well.
