History

The mall was built on a former landfill, which required remediation prior to the mall development.^[2] Plans for the 1,300,000-square-foot (120,000 m²) mall were announced in 1998 by Glimcher Realty Trust, emphasizing the sites proximity to the New Jersey Turnpike and its location in an Urban Enterprise Zone, making purchases eligible for a reduced 3½% sales tax rate, a potent lure for New York City residents paying a sales tax rate over 8%.^[3] However, the sales tax on certain items, such as food and drink, have an additional 3% Elizabeth City Franchise Fee.

The mall is located near the Elizabeth Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey off the New Jersey Turnpike at Interchange 13A near Newark Liberty International Airport and is 30 minutes from Midtown Manhattan. The outlet mall has a Gross leasable area of 1,292,611 ft²,^[4] placing it in the top ten among the largest shopping malls in New Jersey. The mall contains 230 stores and restaurants. Bus service is available on the NJ Transit route 111 bus that runs between Jersey Gardens and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City.

A direct exit to the facility was constructed, allowing drivers direct access to the mall from the New Jersey Turnpike without driving through local Elizabeth streets. The developer will cover the $130 million cost of bonds for the overpass and ramps through property tax payments.^[1]
