Concept
Roosevelt Field Mall
Résumé
Roosevelt Field is a shopping mall in the East Garden City section of Uniondale, New York. It was designed by I. M. Pei and is the largest shopping mall on Long Island, the 2nd-largest in the State of New York, and the tenth-largest shopping mall in the United States. It is managed by Simon Property Group. It is the second most successful mall in the state.
The mall features the traditional retailers Primark, Dick's Sporting Goods, JCPenney, Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus. The mall features prominent specialty retailers such as Kendra Scott, UpWest, Savage X Fenty, Oak + Fort, Altar'd State, Tory Burch, and Hermès.
The mall is adjacent to the Meadowbrook State Parkway, making it accessible from the Northern State Parkway and Southern State Parkway. It is a major hub of Nassau Inter-County Express, with several bus routes stopping in a terminal area near the southern parking structure.
It was constructed on the site of, and named for, Roosevelt Field, an airport and military airfield where Charles Lindbergh began his historic trans-Atlantic flight. At one time, a plaque at the north end of the mall (in the hall that now connects Dick's and JCPenney) marked the spot where Lindbergh took off. It was later moved near the Disney Store, but was removed in the mall's latest renovation.
As an airfield, the land served as the take-off site of many famous aviators such as Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post. Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight took off from Roosevelt Field in 1927. The field was originally named Hazelhurst Field and was renamed in honor of Theodore Roosevelt's son, Quentin, who died in World War I. After the airfield was closed in 1951, the site was developed by New York's William Zeckendorf and designed by I. M. Pei.
Ground was broken on the $35 million project in April 1955. The center opened with a single level and was an open-air center. It included a Woolworth five-and-dime store, a Walgreens drug store, a Food Fair supermarket, a Buster Brown shoe store, a public auditorium, a movie theater, and an outdoor ice rink.
