When was jersey gardens mall built

On Thursday, a family of five said they would be boarding a plane for China in a few hours as they pushed a cart stacked high with luggage and shopping bags past the food court toward the mall's new Coach store. Jersey Gardens has also become a popular retail destination for New York and Pennsylvania residents who travel over bridges and through tunnels by the busload. But that's the catch. A shopping mall that does most of its business with people who visit just a few times a year has to work harder than most retail centers to keep them coming back.

It has to seem like the kind of place a family of four, out for its annual holiday shopping excursion, won't mind spending the better part of a Saturday. In the 14 years since it opened, the Elizabeth outlets have become one of the firm's best-performing centers. At the Elizabeth outlet mall, the floors, walls and ceiling have all been redone in white.

Lime green chairs and wooden side tables and benches along the corridors offset the bright decor. We wanted the mall to turn into the canvas and background for our retailers.

We wanted it to be like an art gallery," he said. New leases Since starting renovations last year -- construction crews worked at night, after the mall had closed -- the center has signed new lease agreements with True Religion, Coach, Calvin Klein Accessories, Tommy Hilfiger, Lego and a Century 21 Department Store.

The renovations will almost certainly be followed by rent increases for tenants, said Patrick Breslin, an executive vice president and managing director at Manhattan real estate firm Studley. Will this be another successful chapter for the Simon malls? The big question for all Jersey shoppers? Yet, the speculation already began. The renovation means new brands, dining opportunities, and entertainment. To stay up to par with high-end outlet malls like Short Hills Mall and Woodbury Commons , it needs to add some big names.

Woodbury Commons is well-known for its top designer brand outlets, while Jersey Gardens mall is still behind at this point. Although many claim it to be one of the best outlets in New Jersey, people still prefer the Woodbury outlets, for having the most popular designer brands in its directory. With the upcoming opening of American Dream Meadowlands, another competitor is on its way to becoming the most popular outlet mall in New Jersey.
