Simon to expand Woodbury Common Outlets with VIP suite, new tenants
Real estate firm Simon Property Group has announced new changes coming to its Woodbury Common Premium Outlets shopping center as part of a broader redevelopment.
The first new enhancement at the center will be a new VIP Suite, featuring multiple private spaces with their own dressing rooms, an upscale lounge area decorated with furnishings and curated art, and a private kitchen. The VIP Suite will host private events, as well as offer personalized service and curated customer experiences. The new installation is expected to open later this year within the center's luxury wing, The Adirondacks District.

"Innovation and continually enhancing our shopping atmosphere, along with our collection of the most desirable brands, is what excites Woodbury Commons’ shoppers, and we look forward to enhancing our guest service experience with our luxurious VIP Suite," said Mark Silvestri, Simon's president of development.
Woodbury Common Outlets had 20 stores open or expand in 2023, and more than 20 are planned to debut in 2024. New retail openings expected include David Yurman, Roberto Cavalli, Maison Margiela, Ladurée, Bogner, Sferra, Bollicine Champagne Bar, Jil Sander, Eleventy, and Reformation among others. In addition, Arc'teryx, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, and Golden Goose are all expanding their footprint at the center this year.
These additions and expansions join Woodbury Common’s list of 250 tenants, 70 of which are luxury brands.
In fall 2023, Simon announced a several hundred-million-dollar expansion that will add 155,000 sq. ft. of stores and restaurants, a 200-key luxury hotel, a second parking facility, and upgraded customer amenities. Enhanced amenities will include a new children's play area, improved crosswalks and wayfinding, and generous landscaping.
The project will add more than 3,000 jobs and open in phases. Located in the heart of New York's Hudson Valley, the center attracts over 10 million shoppers annually.
"This visionary project will further energize Woodbury Common, the Hudson Valley and the entire NYC metro area as a world-class shopping and tourism destination that is so crucial to the region's economic success today and in the future," said Silvestri. "The multi-year redevelopment of Woodbury Common is advancing through the permitting and entitlements process, and approvals are underway.”
