Mall Adds New Anchors

LEVITTOWN, NY-Longtime owner the Feil Organization secures two new anchors for its Nassau Mall property. Construction has begun on a 114,000-sf BJ’s Wholesale Club and a 32,000-sf Linens ‘n Things. Also, Hunter Business School has completed a 6,000-sf expansion and now has 14,000-sf in the center.

The new additions will be up and running later this year and join other tenants such as Lord & Taylor and Best Buy. The center, which was purchased by Feil in 1987, is adjacent to another Feil-owned property Crescent Plaza. Nasasu Mall shares parking facilities with that 200,000 sf retail strip center. Crescent retailers include Kohl’s, Loews Theatres, Michaels, Party City and Old Navy.

Feil’s director of leasing Randall Briskin tells GlobeSt.com that this is the first “expansion” of the site in 10 years. In fact, he says that because the business school vacated basement space in favor of its new digs, the center will actually be 16,000-sf smaller. The No parking has been added to the site, but Briskin notes that each of the tenants sharing the parking have different “peak” times of business alleviating parking burdens.
