History
In 1949, the Prudential Insurance Company of America acquired a large tract of land where The Mall at Short Hills and part of the Canoe Brook Country Club now sit. Seven years later, B. Altman and Company opened a 130,000-square-foot store on the land and eventually added an additional 50,000 square feet to meet market demands. In August 1961, Bonwit Teller, Stouffer's Restaurant, FAO Schwarz, Peck & Peck, and eight other stores opened their doors on the site and, together with a bank branch, comprised the original, open-air Mall at Short Hills. Brentano's opened later the same year, and Tepper's department store and a Post Office branch followed in 1962.
America's largest Bloomingdale's premiered on the site in 1967. The 243,000-square-foot store included an entire floor devoted to furniture and decorative accessories. In addition, smaller "boutiques" were created in the store such as, Young World, Delicacies Shop, Au Gourmet, a men’s store, and a restaurant.
In 1974, Prudential Insurance Company of America began working with The Taubman Company, The Mall at Short Hills' current owner. By 1980, the two had completed a two-year, $100 million project to enclose the mall, which at that time included 1,160,000 of gross leasable space and three anchor stores. New retailers included Godiva Chocolatier, Black, Starr & Frost, The Limited, and Gap. The following year, 1981, Abraham & Straus joined the center.
The first phase of a major expansion, begun in 1993, was completed in November 1994 adding a 100,000-square-foot Saks Fifth Avenue(which closed in September 2016), a totally renovated Bloomingdale's and Abraham & Straus became Macy’s. The next expansion phase was completed in August 1995 adding two anchors—a 129,000 square-foot Neiman Marcus and a 172,000 square-foot Nordstrom—and many new specialty stores including Tiffany & Co., Crate & Barrel, DKNY, Polo Ralph Lauren, Kenneth Cole, Fendi, and Max Mara.
