We visited NYC’s first outlet mall and saw why it’s future is unclear
The first-ever outlet mall in New York City opened in May.
Several months later only a third of the stores are occupied, according to a recent report from The City.
We visited Empire Outlets in Staten Island and saw that a majority of the sprawling 340,000 square-foot space is still empty and under construction.
Though we were impressed with the design and beautiful Manhattan skyline views, there was a troubling lack of shoppers and the empty storefronts created a bit of a wasteland atmosphere.
