‘Dying’ New York Malls Becoming ‘Live/Work/Play’ Destinations’

"Innovative" plans are transforming malls in New York and the Hudson Valley into "live/work/play destinations.

On Wednesday, Pyramid Management Group, one of the largest private real estate developers in the Northeast, announced progress on its long-term plan to bring what the company says are "innovative and diversified offerings such as residential housing within the orbit of the company’s enclosed shopping centers."

Pyramid Management Group owns a number of malls in New York and the Hudson Valley.

“Staying ahead of the curve is the key to our success and resilience as a company," Pyramid Management Group Stephen J. Congel stated. “The development of a residential complex is really just the beginning of a much broader, portfolio-wide diversification strategy to bring popular, exciting new uses into the mix with our existing assets. We are pleased to be moving forward with other residential projects across our portfolio."
