Elm Ridge Center has recently undergone a major renovation from being a desolate plaza in 2020, to now, a thriving shopping center at almost full occupancy. The rebirth of the Center began in 2021 when Wegman Companies, Inc. purchased 350,000 square feet of parcel representing the majority of the Elm Ridge Center. When they took over the plaza it was barely 25% occupancy, and in need of much work. Renovations and updates, including a new courtyard, have the center looking beautiful and bustling at 95% occupancy. According to Jay Wegman, VP of Operations, “Since the plaza makeover, traffic has increased over 200%.”
The plaza is located at 4100 West Ridge Road in Greece, close to Parma, which makes it easy access to many who live anywhere in Greece and the westside suburbs. People from Hamlin, Brockport, Spencerport, Churchville and as far as Bergen come to the plaza regularly for the gym, great dining options, unique shopping as well as other wellness related services. “We really envisioned it to be a destination center, a place where people could come, gather, eat, shop, and work out,” Wegman said.
