Owned by the Simon Property Group the Walt Whitman Mall, Long Island’s premier shopping destination, has nearly 100 of the nation’s finest retailers, including Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor, Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. The project consists of a 100,000-square-foot expansion of the mall, including tenant reconfiguration within the existing mall and the structural reinforcement of existing mall structure to accommodate the expansion. Site/parking improvements include reconfigured parking, new lighting, new landscaping, and additional parking.

The expansion provides street-facing retail frontages that offer shoppers the welcoming experience of a quiet downtown stroll rather than the experience of navigating a crowded mall. A new central plaza is marked by distinctive landscaping, and a new streetscape, including a statue of Whitman himself. The parking was reconfigured, and spots were added to handle the increased number of visitors.
