President of Harvest International,
Charles G. Chan, has successfully brokered a “talk-of-the-town” deal
with Vornado Realty Trust in downtown Flushing, steps away from
the thriving intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue.
After sitting vacant for ten years, the newly renovated building
(formerly occupied by Alexander’s and then Caldor Department
Store) re-opened as the New World Mall on April 29, 2011.
The
first of its kind life-style center serving the community’s needs, regardless of rain
or shine, commuters as well as residents and nearby workforce alike
can now satisfy their daily livelihood needs through a one-stop
indoor shopping experience – and not to mention providing
over hundreds of business and job opportunities to the community.
The mall boasts an 80,000 square foot bi-level underground parking
garage, adjacent to the Main Street #7 subway station, in front
of 13 bus lines and one block to the LIRR train station in a densely
populated and thriving multi-ethnic mixed urban environment. The
mall’s GLA amounts to 170,000 square feet in addition to
the 80,000 square foot parking garage on four retail and restaurant
floors with skylight atrium.
The
lower level is an international food court featuring 30 concepts
from around the world. The 1st level is anchored by a mega food
mart with shops and service venues, while the 2nd level has hair
care, nail care, clothing boutiques as well as gifts shops and
electronic stores. The 3rd level is occupied by a restaurant & catering hall with KTV private VIP
rooms and a soon-to-open roof top café and bar. The food
court is rated as one of the busiest and most successful food courts
in the New York Metro area, whereas patrons at times have to wait
to gain access into the food court itself.
Mr. Chan was graciously invited
to join in and conceptualize the redevelopment of this mall as
one of the five partners of the investment group in launching the
first of its kind of vertical life style center concept in this
part of the world.
