Empire Outlets, New York City’s first and only retail outlet complex, has signed a lease with Seattle-based Nordstrom Inc. to open a Nordstrom Rack, along the north shore of Staten Island’s waterfront.
BFC Partners is the developer of Empire Outlets, a nearly 350,000-square-foot retail complex, being constructed in the St. George neighborhood along Richmond Terrace. The complex will be positioned next to the Staten Island ferry terminal that handles about 65,000 passengers daily. As the first retail tenant, Nordstrom Rack has leased 34,000 square feet for a two-level store, expected to open in the fall of 2016.
