Five tenants, ranging from health care companies to a hair salon, have signed leases at the Boyce Thompson Center, the approximately $35 million, 85,000-square-foot mixed-use center being built in Yonkers by Simone Development Cos.

The leases total approximately 10,800 square feet of medical, restaurant and retail space in the Boyce Thompson redevelopment near the corner of North Broadway and Executive Boulevard.

Plush Blow Dry Bar salon is leasing 972 square feet.

With the five new deals, the Boyce Thompson Center is about 35 percent leased, according to  Simone Development. Other signed tenants include Fortina, an Italian restaurant with locations in Armonk, Rye Brook and Stamford, and St. John”™s Riverside Hospital, which will be the sole occupant of a new two-level, 15,000-square-foot medical office building on the roughly seven-acre site at 1086 N.

Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development Cos. in the Bronx, said the center will open this fall. The project includes restoration of the long-vacant 1930-era Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research.
