An average household income of $167,000 across 455,000 households is what separates Tanger Riverhead from the outlet norm. The 1.4 million people in its trade area include New York City residents and Hamptons second homeowners, two demand groups Tanger explicitly identifies in positioning the property as New York’s designer outlet destination.
The home and furnishings register is consistent with that second-home component. Williams-Sonoma Outlet, Pottery Barn Outlet and West Elm Outlet put three Williams-Sonoma, Inc. banners on one site, with Crate & Barrel Outlet and Serena & Lily alongside them. Collette Home, Abode Home & Decor, Furniture Source and Appliances 4 Less extend the category well beyond what an apparel-led outlet center normally carries.
The apparel side matches that positioning. Armani and Armani Exchange, Theory, Vince, Rag & Bone and BOSS hold the contemporary and designer tier, with UGG, Tumi, Movado and Swarovski covering footwear, accessories and watches. Karako Suits, NY Dress Shop and Ethan Jordan Jewelers add smaller New York operators to a register otherwise built around national outlet divisions.
Riverhead’s roughly 729,000 square feet sit near the Long Island Expressway on Long Island’s East End, positioned between New York City demand and the Hamptons. For a brand assessing New York, those are two distinct demand components: metropolitan visitors and second homeowners farther east. The depth of the home register is the clearest leasing evidence that the property is built for more than an apparel outlet trip.
