Macerich’s new outdoor shopping complement to Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, N.Y., just got three steps closer to a full house for its planned grand opening this fall. 24-Hour Fitness, Sonic Drive-In, and Ulta Beauty have all committed to space at Green Acres Commons, a 335,000-sq.-ft. retail center.
The Commons is now 90% leased and will also host Ashley Furniture Homestore, BJ’s Brewhouse, Burlington, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Five Below. Next door at the 1.8 million-sq.-ft. mall, new tenant Century 21 recently opened a two-level, 70,000-sq.-ft. store and upgrades were made to existing Old Navy and H&M properties.
“Our goal with the new Green Acres Commons is to deliver more of the retailers and services desired by this attractive market, where upscale Long Island suburbs meet dynamic Queens neighborhoods,” said Joe Floccari, senior property manager of Green Acres Mall.
Dick’s plans to open its doors at the Commons next month. The remaining tenants will likely time their openings to synch with the fall grand opening.
