The mall's owners recently revealed a plan to repurpose three vacant spaces at the mall and bring a new downtown to Paramus, according to report by NorthJersey.com and the USA Today Network.
A redevelopment of the mall's former J.C. Penney, Uniqlo and freestanding Best Buy will kick off the project as the first phase, the report says.
Three acres of green space connecting the mall to the residential building -- to be constructed on a Paramus Road parking lot -- will be one of the biggest changes, the NorthJersey.com reports.
New features will include:
- 20 new retail tenants
- mixed-use residential complex
- public park with restored Sprout Brook
- seasonal hockey rink
- upscale hotel (possible)
Details to the project's proposal are expected to be unveiled next year, and will hopefully be followed by a review process in which residents can provide feedback.
