Roosevelt Field Mall is touted by owner the Simon Group as the fifth largest mall in the US. The mall, which has a 245-store tenant roster, comes in at 2.4 million sf. By comparison, Simon's Mall of America in Bloomington, MN clocks in at 4.2 million sf and has a tenant roster in excess of 520 stores.
