| Formerly known as Pyramid Mall Ithaca | |
The Pyramid Mall is in Ithaca, New York off Rt.13 and near Lansing. The mall was built in 1976 and has about 60 stores. This mall is one of the three original Pyramid malls to still exist, as Pyramid Mall Plattsburgh and Pyramid Mall Saratoga have now been demolished. Since opening, the mall has gone through multiple changes, such as a renovation in the mid-1980s that exposed the HVAC systems.
