A 40-year-old, open-air mall on the high-traffic retail stretch of Route 1 running between Princeton and Trenton, New Jersey, is getting a makeover.
Federal Realty Investment Trust has announced its Mercer Mall — shadow-anchored by Home Depot and across Route 1 from the super-regional Quaker Bridge Mall — will now be known as Mercer on One. The centre is also neighboured by Marketfair, an indoor and outdoor centre whose tenants include Anthropologie, Barnes & Noble, Club Pilates and Eastern Mountain sports.
The 500,000sq ft Mercer on One will be updated with new storefronts and signage along with new branding. Two new tenants are joining the current roster of more than 50 stores: Crate & Barrel Outlet and J. Crew Factory. Crate & Barrel is open and operating inside a 42,000sq ft space adjacent to Nike. J. Crew Factory will open in a 6,100sq ft space next to DSW in 2024.
Mercer on One is currently home to brands that include REI, Nordstrom Rack, ShopRite and Bonefish Grill. Federal reports that it intends to announce additional tenants in the coming months.
“For over four decades the shopping centre has been a foundation of the Lawrenceville community and culture,” said Federal’s VP of Regional Leasing Jeffrey Fischer. “The rebrand captures the essence of the shopping centre’s location and offerings, creating an all-in-one destination for residents and visitors.”
