The 1.2 million square foot Gateway Center is located off Exit 15 of Belt Parkway and has been a premier retail destination for the East New York, Brooklyn community since 2002. The center was significantly expanded in 2014, including adding the JCPenney space. The center is one of the most heavily visited in the United States and ranks #2 for visits in New York state (17.71 million visits over the last 12 months). The asset is situated directly off Belt Parkway, a major east-west highway that runs along the southern border of Brooklyn and Queens, and less than five miles from the John F. Kennedy International Airport, which is one of the busiest airports in the United States. This key thoroughfare also facilitates seamless access to and from Manhattan via a connection to Grand Central Parkway.
