Clifton Park Center wants to add 28,000 more square feet

Clifton Park

Clifton Park Center is looking to expand further.

The mall is asking the town's Planning Board for permission to add 28,000 square feet of retail space with multiple retailers near the front of the shopping center.

Donald MacElroy, vice president of DCG Development Co., said he hopes to get approval within the next 60 days. If he does, construction could be completed and the space available in the first quarter of 2015.

The mall has more than 600,000 square feet of retail space, almost all of which is leased.

"This building was always something we anticipated doing," he said.

Originally, the developer received approval for 40,000 square feet of space on that piece of the property, which is at the front of its site near Clifton Park Center Road, MacElroy said. Some 7,500 square feet was then used for the Olive Garden restaurant.

This new, L-shaped section which will be subdivided based on how much space tenants want will still leave room for parking and green space.

"We want the layout to work from a circulation perspective: When someone walks out of a particular store, they immediately see a dozen other shopping opportunities," MacElroy said.
