Simon Property Group, owner of the under construction Shops At Nanuet, announced 11 new tenants on Thursday.  The list, primarily of retailers, brings the number of named tenants to more than 40.  At least 70 percent of the  tenants are expected to join the grand opening of the Shops At Nanuet scheduled for October.
