WhenThe Mall at Bay Plaza opens in August 2014, it will be the first enclosed fashion mall in the New York City area in almost 40 years. With it comes the first new Macy's department store in the city in more than 15 years. The new mall will sit at the crossroads of I-95 and the Hutchinson River Parkway, making it an ideal destination for consumers from all over New York City, including the Bronx and Manhattan as well as Westchester. Upon completion, The Mall at Bay Plaza promises a first-class, suburban-style shopping experience.This state-of-the-art fashion mall will join the iconic landmarks like the Bronx Zoo, Yankees Stadium, and The Botanical Gardens at the junction of the Bronx and Westchester. Prestige Properties is making an economic and architectural contribution to the community by creating an enclosed fashion mall (including a 1,800-car parking garage) worthy of the 780,000 square foot project. The existing shopping center, which includes a 150,000 square foot JCPenney and encompasses 1.3 million square feet, is already the largest mall in New York City. In total, the new mall and the open air center will cover an excess of two million square feet. The Mall at Bay Plaza will house over 100 specialty stores, entertainment, restaurants, and a complete food court. Top names in fashion have already claimed their space--eagerly awaiting New York's first-class, suburban style fashion mall opening in August 2014...

This is an indoor mall with plenty of stores to shop in. They also have plenty of other stores outside of this malls location. I would say it's an ok place to shop in. I prefer the malls near my area, because I don't really like to shop for indoor places. Although it does come in handy on a bad weather day such as the day we visited. Many food options, many stores, and some fun things to do with your family. I don't know if I would give it a thumbs up, but I would say if your in this area or live in this area, than thumbs up for you, because you have a decent mall to shop instead of traveling to the city.

Lots of parking (1800 spaces) but costs a flat $3 fee for the day. Bus stops are plenty, and the pay stations don't all work which was a pain. Ground floor parking isn't always clear which stores they are closest to by section, labeling could be better. Some stores aren't connected internally to the mall so that's a pain.
Inside you have a theater, mall doors court, some restaurants and many stores. Escalators aren't placed well to flow, instead you have to double back periodically. Overall visited better laid out malls like Palisades.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - 121223593Apr 26, 2022
Been a while since I've been at the mall but they have definitely changed a lot since I've been there. Ulta isn't there anymore along with Red Robin and a few other stores. They have however added an apple store which was nice. We also noticed some of the stores swapped their location. It's a cool mall. Glad we have 1 decent mall in the Bronx !

My 26 year old daughter has special needs. She likes to mall walk for exercise, then get a froyo from cups, or sometimes spend her allowance on a stuffed animal or other treasure. The kiosk vendors at this mall make her uncomfortable, they have even pulled her by the arm over to their booths. She actually bought something she didn't want to get a vendor off her back. That's harassment, and I don't appreciate it. I have seen and heard others complain about it as well, and I think the mall should make rules about how kiosk vendors can interact with guests (ie no stepping in front of them to block their path, no pulling them by the arm, no following them, especially after being told "no thank you" several times). Other than that, the mall is clean and has a good layout with a vast variety of retailers and food spots, so it has the potential to be a positive shopping experience.

This mall was so needed they have everything in a perfect location. It's a great place to shop and eat. This is big for the Bronx having these shop all together is so convenient. They have all my favorites shops Aldo's. Bath and body works, champs sports,forever 21, h&m, gap , gnc, Macy's Jc penny's even a T-Mobile the list goes on. I think it's great to do your holiday shopping here and your every day shopping as well I didn't find it over crowded. They also have great restaurants for you get hungry afterwards.
This is a nice "suburban shopping " experience in the Bronx lol. Is nice cause you can drive or take bus and not have to go all the way down town and avoid all that traffic. They also have WiFi and charging stations.Helpful 16Thanks 0Love this 15Oh no 0 - Nov 30, 2019
If I would've had to base my review on Black Friday, it would be at four, because this place definitely seems a little bit chaotic, but what mall it isn't chaotic on Black Friday.
The mall does have a vast selection of stores, and it's surprisingly well lit and well organized, especially when you consider the surrounding neighborhood.
It seems to have a lot of bathrooms, and the people in the kiosks aren't as annoying as their counterparts in other stores.
I always leave happy when I go here.
Parking is fine too.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 853622602Feb 25, 2018
Wow, what an amazing addition to the Bronx!
I was actually headed to Garden State Plaza, until I found out that it was closed and decided to check this one out!
I am glad I checked this mall out! It has a lot of different stores and a bunch of places to eat after some shopping exhaustion! HA! I loved it!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Bay Plaza is one of my favorite Malls in Westchester New Rochelle! The sales are amazing, specially Black Friday, after the Thanksgiving, and Christmas Season. It's a shopping mall where you can spend the day with family or friends & then enjoy a great meal in any of the restaurants around or inside the mall perimeters.

This is my local mall. I have been going here since 2014 when it first opened and I expect to keep going for years to come.
The stores are pretty basic. Your standard Macy's, JCP, Victoria Secret, Foot Locker, Express, etc.. This location is kind of a place you go to when you need something quick or for someone else. The Mall itself has 3 floors which features everything from a Cinnabon to a gym! It's fairly clean but I usually go there for their chain restaurants. Before the mall came to co-op there were not many options for a dine-in experience at Bay Plaza. This was a much-welcomed addition.
I recommend checking it out if you have time on a weekend or know exactly what you want. It's best to call in advance because this isn't the place you go to for those hard to find items you may see at the retailer's online website.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information
