Abstract

The article focuses on the decline of Livingston Mall in northern New Jersey, a once-thriving suburban shopping center that has closed most of its stores, including Macy's, due to changing consumer habits, online shopping, and the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, the nearby Mall at Short Hills remains successful, attracting luxury retailers and affluent shoppers, supported by its high-end tenant mix and ownership by Simon Property Group Inc. Livingston Mall’s ownership by Kohan Retail Investment Group since 2022 has coincided with underinvestment and uncertainty about the mall’s future, while local officials and residents express nostalgia and concern. Plans for partial redevelopment of the Livingston Mall site into residential housing are underway. [Extracted from the article]
