Staten Island Mall is a shopping mall in the New Springville neighborhood of the Staten Island borough of New York City, United States. It is the only indoor shopping mall in the borough. It is the largest retail center on the island and is the site of the island's third largest public transit hub after the St. George ferry terminal and Eltingville Transit Center, respectively, with numerous bus routes that connect to the periphery of the mall area.
The mall is owned by General Growth Properties of Chicago, Illinois. It has 200 stores employing approximately 3,000 people. Anchor tenants include JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears.
Prior to the construction of the mall, the land was occupied by the Staten Island Airport, which opened in 1941. The site was sold in 1955 with a shopping and amusement center, known as the Staten Island Center, envisaged. Construction, however, did not commence until 1970 and while the grand opening was in 1973, some stores (such as a supermarket) opened on the site much earlier, and were in full operation as early as the summer of 1970, probably earlier. Anchor tenants in later years included Macy's, and Sears. The mall's original developer was Feist and Feist Realty Corp. When the Rouse Company acquired the mall in 1980 they remodeled the mall by adding additional escalators to the six that were working at the time the mall opened, plus additional trees and several new fountains throughout the mall.
The last major renovation and expansion of the mall was in 1993 when the JCPenney wing was completed. It is currently a two-story mall shaped like a letter "T", with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,274,000 ft² (114,000 m²) and a tenant GLA of 622,000 ft² (58,000 m²).
