THE BOULEVARD
After ShopRite launched on the Boulevard in October, PetSmart and Marshalls opened at the new mall last month.
As part of the completion of the 356,000-square-foot, multi-storey shopping center, an abstract sculpture by artist David Boyajian was installed on site last month, depicting dancing seedlings sprouting from the earth. Kimco Realty, the Long Island-based developer of the new mall, named the sculpture “Renaissance” to mark the “rebirth” of the mall formerly known as Hylan Plaza.
