New York — On October 27, Century 21 Department Store will open an approximately 70,000-square-foot, two-level store at Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, N.Y., on the South Shore of Long Island. It will be the 10th department store for the legendary Manhattan-based retailer.
The new Century 21 Department Store at Green Acres Mall will serve as an anchor for the Sunrise Highway portion of the center. Macerich acquired the 1.8-million-square-foot Green Acres Mall in January 2013 and has since been actively elevating the merchandise mix and shopper experience, including the addition of a recently opened flagship store for H&M. Macerich is also currently developing the 335,000-square-foot Green Acres Commons next to the mall, which will feature DICK’s Sporting Goods and other large-format stores.
“Century 21 is a sophisticated, marquee anchor for Green Acres that ups the game for this incredibly well-situated regional mall,” says Randy Brant, executive vice president, real estate, Macerich. “We’re always focused on adding value to our one-of-a-kind properties, and at Green Acres we are delivering retail attractions that expand the property’s appeal across the city and the suburbs. Century 21 is a true destination, and we have been so pleased with its impact since opening last fall at our joint venture project in downtown Philadelphia, which we are now redeveloping as Fashion Outlets of Philadelphia @ Market East. We are exceptionally pleased to welcome this great department store to Green Acres Mall.”
Century 21 Department Store, established in 1961, is legendary for its exceptional offering of pure designer merchandise in every category at 40% to 65% off retail every day. The retailer is headquartered in downtown Manhattan, with four other locations in New York including Lincoln Square, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island and three additional locations in New Jersey including Paramus, Morristown and Elizabeth as well as online at C21Stores.com. In fall 2014, Century 21 Department Store opened its first store outside of the New York metro area, in Philadelphia.
Macerich currently owns 55 million square feet of real estate consisting primarily of interests in 51 regional shopping centers. Macerich specializes in successful retail properties in many of the country’s most attractive, densely populated markets. For more information, visit www.macerich.com.
