Sitting on 61 acres of land, The Shops at Nanuet is an open-air Main Street re-development consisting of approximately 400,000 sf of new construction, including a new cinema, fitness center, market and two existing anchor’s, Macy’s and Sears. The architecture of the new buildings creates a dialogue between the past and the present, alluding to the area’s industrial pastoral buildings, while incorporating a modern flair with new materials. Each individual building has its own identity, but the design palette and continuity of materials and a comprehensive Environmental Graphics package ties the buildings and the development together. The new main street, which elevates the experience both from the vehicular and pedestrian viewpoint, includes numerous plantings, a fire pit feature, and various places for people to sit and relax.
