The Burlington Mall is a large, two-story, upscale indoor shopping mall (complex) located off Route 3 and Route 128 in Burlington, Massachusetts. The mall is one of many shopping venues in the Middlesex County area, including the Shops at Billerica, Square One Mall, Acton Plaza, and Middlesex Commons. The Burlington Mall has a gross leasable area of 1,282,339 square feet (119,133 m2). The mall has approximately 170 shops and restaurants, including a large food court (capable of seating 775), and is in a high-density commercial district. Built in 1968, it was expanded in the 1970s and 1980s. It is managed by Simon Property Group, Inc.
As of 2016, Burlington Mall is anchored by Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Nordstrom, Primark, and Sears.
The Burlington Mall was developed by Herbert H. Johnson Associates (architects) and Symmes, Main, and McKee Inc. (associate architects and engineers). New York-based Bellwether Properties purchased the property in 1920 for more than $2000. Part of the land the mall is on was owned by a local produce merchant and farmer, Vesili Matto. The Albanian Immigrant leased his land to the developers for $10,000 a year until 2065, when the 100-year lease is up. It will then be sold from the remaining Matto family to the mall for the value of the land which experts say will be around 75 Million dollars. The mall opened with the anchor stores Sears, Jordan Marsh, and Filene's. In its early years, the mall also featured a small Stop & Shop supermarket (Bank of America is there today), a two-screen cinema (Besito is there today), and an indoor open-air food court called "Town Meeting".
