The Highlands Shopping Center

The Highlands Retail Center stands as the premier shopping destination in Brewster, New York, having served the community since its opening in 2005. Strategically positioned directly off Interstate 84, just one exit west of the critical I-684 and I-84 intersection, this retail hub has evolved into the busiest shopping center in the region over nearly two decades of operation. The center's exceptional accessibility is enhanced by its proximity to the Harlem Line's Metro North Southeast Station, making it an ideal destination for commuters, local shoppers, and employees alike. Home to a diverse mix of national retailers, local restaurants, and essential service providers, The Highlands has become an integral part of the scenic Brewster community. The center's success stems from its strategic location in the heart of the Hudson Valley, serving as the area's major regional retail hub that combines convenience, variety, and accessibility for residents throughout Putnam County and beyond.

The Highlands Retail Center attracts a diverse mix of suburban families and commuters from the Brewster, NY area and surrounding Putnam County region. The trade area serves middle to upper-middle income households drawn to the convenient I-84 and I-684 interchange location, with easy access via Metro North's Harlem Line Southeast Station making it popular among daily commuters. Primary shoppers include working professionals aged 30-55, families seeking convenient access to national retailers and local services, and regional visitors from the broader Hudson Valley area who appreciate the one-stop shopping experience for everyday needs and dining options.
