Schuckman Realty, which acquired Long Island’s 1.2 million square foot Broadway Commons mall for $40M in February, has announced plans for its $100M renovation.
The Rockville Centre, New York-based developer, owner of some 90 properties in the New York metro, this week presented plans to the Northwest Civic Association of Hicksville for the razing of a 300,000sq ft Macy’s space and 100,000sq ft of the mall’s interior space to make room for an open-air concept that will be called The Shoppes on Broadway, according to Long Island Business News.
Shuckman reported that it had already signed a 100,000sq ft anchor that could not yet be named. Other uses it envisions for the renovated space include restaurants with outdoor seating and experiential and entertainment tenants.
“This will be a complete transformation and re-imagining of the property. It will be more shopper-friendly, more pedestrian-friendly and more community friendly,” a Schuckman representative told LIBN. “You go to work, you go home and this should be the third place you go to.”
