New Rochelle Mall (also known as the Macy's Mall) was an enclosed shopping mall located in the Downtown Business District of the suburban city of New Rochelle In Westchester County, New York.

The mall complex covered four large Downtown blocks and was comprised of 100 retail shops covering 338,000 square feet, a 3 level, 250,000 square foot department store, and a 1,900-car garage. [1] It also included a 1204 seat Century Mall Theater as well as being linked to an adjacent eight story office building and hotel tower, both of which still remain.


Plans were in the works for the mall to undergo a $30 million dollar, 50 percent expansion, with the addition of a 12-story building that was to include a 12-screen movie theater and eight floors of offices. The expansion, intended to aid in the revitalization of New Rochelle's downtown, was scheduled for completion in 1991.[2] These developments were never completed.


The Malls end came with the bankrupcy of Macy's and it's closing of the New Rochelle branch in 1992. The vacancy rate in the mall by then was already high, and the mall was formally closed and demolished by the summer of 1996.
