One of the most valuable malls in America is about to get a total makeover.
Garden State Plaza mall in Paramus, New Jersey is being renovated to include office space, a residential area, more food options, a space for gym operators and yoga studios, a hotel and an open green space for the
surrounding community to use.
This mall sees more than 20 million visitors per year and is considered one of the more productive assets in Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield’s portfolio of 92 centers, across a dozen countries.
As part of the ongoing renovations at Garden State Plaza, a former J C Penny store within the mall and a freestanding Best Buy store on the property are being gutted for new uses.
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield said this year it will begin remodeling the inside of the center to add more chef-backed eateries, entertainment for families and health-and-wellness tenants. The unveiling of the new residential space, office building, hotel, public park and open green space will come in 2022, it said.
