If you are a retailer seeking to locate in an outer borough, there is no doubt that Staten Island will be on your radar.

The big four projects – New York Wheel, Empire Outlets, Lighthouse Point and Urby Staten Island – have garnered worldwide attention and that attention is attracting new residents to the north shore waterfront and beyond.

For retailers looking for a great location to expose their brand a bit further inland, the Clove Lakes area is a great place to be. Here’s why:

Clove Road runs from Richmond Terrace to the Staten Island Expressway
Clove Road is served by most MTA bus lines
Clove Road is where the Staten Island Zoo and Clove Lakes Park is located
Clove Road just received a dedicated bike lane from NYC DOT
Victory Boulevard which intersects Clove Road, is one of the oldest roads on Staten Island traveling from St. George to Travis. It was once known as the Richmond Turnpike until it was renamed following WWI.
