Crossgates Mall is one of the largest shopping
malls in upstate New York. It is located off Washington and Western
Avenues in Albany at the beginning of the Adirondack Northway
(I-87). The mall is officially in the Town of Guilderland.
Crossgates opened in March of 1984 and was later expanded in October 1994. It has two levels and over 250 shops, restaurants and cinemas.
Anchor tenants include Macy's, JC Penney, Cohoes, Dick's Sporting Goods and Best Buy. A Lord & Taylor store closed in January, 2005 and Filene's closed in 2006 due to the merger with Federated Stores. Macy's moved into the larger space at the west end of the mall vacated by Filene's and left its old location in the middle of the mall.
Crossgates also has a Regal Cinemas theater with 18 movie screens including an IMAX theatre. An original 12-screen cinema closed in February, 2005.
Restaurants at Crossgates Mall include Ruby Tuesday, Unos, Houlihans and Johnny Rockets. The Melting Pot and The Standard were two new restaurants that opened in 2008. The restaurants Bugaboo Creek and Hooters closed in 2007 due to financial problems.
Across the street from Crossgates Mall off Washington Avenue Extension is Crossgates Commons, which features several big box stores including Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Sports Authority. Sam's Club closed in Crossgates Commons in 2006 and the space was used by Wal-Mart to expand and build a two-level store. When completed, it will be the largest Wal-Mart in the nation.
Crossgates is owned by the Pyramid Corp.
of Syracuse which also runs the Carousel Mall in Syracuse and
Palisades Center in West Nyack,
NY.
Crossgates began a new parental escort
policy in July, 2005 which requires a person over 21 to accompany
children under 18 on Friday and Saturday after 4 p.m.
Regular Mall Shopping Hours: Monday - Saturday 10AM - 9:30, Sunday 11AM - 6PM
