Manhattan Mall

Under renovation

Former shops, now offices

The Manhattan Mall, an indoor shopping mall in New York City, is located at 33rd Street and Avenue of the Americas. It is one of the few malls in the city that provide no off-street parking for shoppers.

This mall is a high-traffic shopping venue and has had A&S and Sterns as anchor stores in the past. Currently the major anchor store is JC Penney. Venture bought the building in 1999 for $135 million and sold it to Vornado Realty Trust in 2006 for $689 million.^[1] There are entrances to the 34th Street – Herald Square New York City Subway station (B D F M N Q R W trains) and the 33rd Street PATH station (HOB-33rd, JSQ-33rd, and JSQ-33rd via HOB trains) on the second basement level.

The mall is located in the high-rise building formerly used by the Gimbels flagship store, which closed in 1986. After a renovation, it reopened as A&S Plaza in 1989. It was originally 13 levels high but difficult access to upper floors made the whole mall a financial failure. Soon after Stern's closed, all floors were converted to office space, except the first and second and the two basement levels.

On April 18, 2007, J. C. Penney announced that it would open a 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m²) store at the mall, its first in Manhattan. ^[2] Retailers and the food court were closed to make way for the new store and the direct underground entrance to the New York City Subway and PATH was temporarily closed. The store opened on July 31, 2009.
