Staten Island outlet center is 70% leased
The 340,000-sq.-ft. project that promises to be New York City’s first and only outlet center when it opens in 2018 is 70% leased, according to developer BFC Partners.
Samsonite became the latest signee at Empire Outlets, part of a Staten Island renaissance in the making near the St. George Ferry Terminal, which greets more than 23 million passengers a year. Samsonite joins Nordstrom Rack, Columbia Sporting Goods, Gap Factory, H&M, and Banana Republic among the 100-plus retailers expected to populate the center.
"I continue to try and deliver best in class brands to Empire Outlets that currently do not exist on the borough,” said James Prendamano of Casandra Properties, who is handling leasing for Empire Outlets. “Samsonite, which is sold in over 100 countries worldwide, is a case study for success in this endeavor.”
Plans call for a boutique hotel on the site, as well as a restaurant row. Shake Shack and Artichoke Basille’s Pizza have signed leases, along with the food hall MRKTPL.
