Olshan Properties welcomes three new retailers to Northway Mall

Colonie, NY According to Olshan Properties, Mattress Firm, Mission BBQ and Club Pilates have opened at Northway Mall, its 480,000 s/f, retail property. These new additions follow the completion of the redevelopment of the standalone Building E that houses the new retailers.

Olshan recently completed the transformation of the area formerly occupied by Petco into three distinct retail spaces. The work included a facelift to the storefront of the building that Petco formerly occupied to create a more contemporary look and inviting atmosphere for tenants and future retailers.

“By creatively reimagining one of our buildings, we’ve unlocked its potential and created exciting opportunities for these three sensational new tenants and our loyal customers,” said Ken Marshall, senior vice president of commercial assets at Olshan Properties. “This strategic renovation, combined with the new tenant offerings, underscores our dedication to fostering dynamic retail environments and we couldn’t be more excited to congratulate the trio on their openings!”

Mission BBQ, which opened April 16th, occupies a 4,329 s/f space. The American barbeque restaurant prides itself on giving back and supporting military, police, firefighters, and other first responders.

Club Pilates opened its 1,846 s/f studio space on the first of April and is the center’s first workout provider. The largest pilates brand and studio network worldwide, Club Pilates operates more than 1,000 locations across the globe.

Finally, national retailer and America’s largest specialty mattress store, Mattress Firm, opened its new, 4,745 s/f store in December 2023.

Northway Mall is anchored by Target and Lowes, the property is positioned off Rte. 5 with highway visibility and access off the I-90/I-87 interchange. Along with Colonie Center directly across the street, Olshan Properties’ Northway Mall commands the Central Ave. corridor, greater Albany’s dominant regional shopping destination.
