So: What’s happening with the Nanuet Mall?

Last I heard, the are applying for permits, building an upscale outdoor mall with high end tenants but at this writing not saying who. They have barricaded the indoor space between Macys and Sears, therefore, the only entrance to these stores is from the OUTSIDE. The inside entrances are sealed off forever.

Estimated time for completion is 2.55 or 3 years….

If you know anything, please comment. We’d love any news.

Well, I’ve been reading lately that there are plans to revitalize The Nanuet Mall.  I must confess I was hoping that they would combine housing with some really nice restaurants and stores.  When you’re a realtor you hear constantly about the lack of affordable housing for the baby boomers.  Boomers want to be able to walk to shops/stores,etc.  But it’s not just the boomers who are attracted to that lifestyle.  Today’s younger generation wants to walk to starbucks, the gym, restaurants and stores too. 

Also, boomers are moving out in droves to The Carolinas, Florida, Arizona and points South and West.  It’s a mystery to me why so many states are able to provide adequately for their residents and keep their tax base considerably lower than lower New York.  Actually it’s not really a mystery, but this is not the venue for politics.

So we watch and wait to see what will happen with The Nanuet Mall. Scheduled opening for the rebuild (not reno) is 2014.
