NEW YORK CITY—Will the discounts of outlet shopping prove to be retail that works, when logistically placed on Staten Island? With the developer BFC Partners breaking ground in 2015, and several postponed openings—Empire Outlets hosted its grand opening on Wednesday night reporting 11,500 visitors attended the ribbon cutting.

SHoP Architects designed the mall which is the only outlet shopping center in New York City.
