For more than two decades, Legacy Village has been one of Northeast Ohio's premier shopping, dining, and lifestyle destinations, serving residents from Lyndhurst, Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Shaker Heights, Hunting Valley, Chagrin Falls, Moreland Hills, and beyond.
As consumer preferences continue to evolve, Legacy Village remains committed to bringing fresh experiences, rising brands, and unique dining concepts to Cleveland's East Side. That commitment is on full display as the center welcomes an impressive lineup of recently opened new tenants, including EVOO Authentic Greek & Mediterranean Restaurant, Saffron Patch, Saatva, Magnolia Bakery, Flow Yoga Studio, and the anticipated opening of Moxie the last week of October. Even more excitement is on the horizon, with Shinto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar, and Dakota London preparing to join the mix in the months ahead.
NOW OPEN
EVOO, bringing a vibrant menu, inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean, has quickly become a favorite destination for lunch, dinner, and special occasions. Just steps away, Saffron Patch introduces guests to the rich flavors and aromas of authentic Indian cuisine. Just this week, Magnolia Bakery has opened its door and joined the growing atmosphere at Legacy Village. The iconic New York bakery, famous for its world-renowned Banana Pudding and signature Red Velvet Cupcakes, will bring a taste of Manhattan to Lyndhurst and is expected to become an immediate destination for residents throughout Northeast Ohio.
On the retail side, Saatva offers shoppers a luxury mattress showroom experience centered on personalized comfort and premium sleep products. Flow Yoga Studio has brought wellness to the forefront with its welcoming approach to yoga and community. Named "Best of Cleveland" in 2024 and "Best of the East" in 2025, Flow offers classes for practitioners of all experience levels.

For more than 25 years, Zachary Sogoloff, Executive Vice President at Goodman Real Estate Services Group, has guided this property through leasing, acquisition, redevelopment, and disposition, creating value for multiple ownership groups along the way.
Th initial connection to Pearl Plaza began with the original ownership group, who developed the center around their Furniture Land concept. Over the years, Goodman has helped lease the property, bringing in tenants such as I-Style Furniture and Party Place all while navigating the challenges of an aging shopping center.
Later, Sogoloff represented Wald & Fisher, Inc. in acquiring the property. After years of working on the center, our team believed there was an opportunity to unlock greater value through redevelopment. The initial plan called for converting the main building to self-storage with Chipotle and Starbucks outlots. While the concept attracted tenant interest, the city encouraged us to pursue a different direction.
We went back to the drawing board and evaluated the site's highest and best use. With strong traffic counts, dense population, solid household incomes, and frontage directly across from Southland Shopping Center, it became clear that the greatest opportunity was street front small shop space. Chipotle remained committed and became the anchor of a multi-tenant building. Citizens Bank replaced Starbucks; ALDI signed a ground lease, and the remaining shop space was successfully leased.
Once redevelopment was complete, Pearl Plaza was marketed and sold by our Director of Investment Sales, Kyle Hartung, through multiple transactions. At Goodman Real Estate Services Group, we believe in the power of long-term relationships, strategic thinking, and adaptability. We helped one client operate the center for years, another client acquire and transform it, and several national retailers expand in the market.
The best real estate stories aren't just about buildings. They're about creating value over time and helping clients achieve their goals at every stage of a property's life cycle.
