Empire Outlets New York City, also known as Harbor Commons,[1] is a proposed 350,000-square-foot retail complex that will feature 100 designer outlets and a 120,000-square-foot hotel.

It is to be constructed near Saint George Terminal and Richmond County Bank Ballpark, in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City,[2][3] alongside the proposed New York Wheel, a 625-foot (190.5 m) tall giant Ferris wheel scheduled to open in 2017.[4]

The two projects are going through the approval process simultaneously and will share consultants on issues such as traffic and the waterfront, however they are separate projects with separate funding.[5][6]

History

BFC Partners, based in Brooklyn, will construct Empire Outlets under the auspices of the developer, Economic Development Corp.[2] SHoP Architects is providing architectural design services. DeSimone Consulting Engineers is the structural engineering firm. Casandra Properties and EB are the leasing agents.[7]

Facilities

The 350,000-square-foot mall will feature 100 designer outlet stores and a 120,000-square-foot[2] 200-room hotel.[8]
