Destiny USA in Syracuse, New York, on the Destiny USA Drive and I-81 corridor at the southern end of Onondaga Lake, the 2.4 million square foot super-regional mall that expanded from the former Carousel Center, serves as the regional retail destination for a trade area spanning central New York state and segments of southern Ontario and Pennsylvania whose distance from the metropolitan shopping centres of New York City, Boston, and Toronto gives the property an unusually broad catchment for a mid-tier American city. Macy’s anchors the traditional department store floor. Apple gives the property a premium technology retail identity. Apex Entertainment, the family entertainment centre operator, anchors the experiential entertainment floor with bowling, laser tag, and arcade gaming. Burlington and TJ Maxx and Macy’s Backstage anchor the accessible off-price floor. Bath and Body Works anchors the accessible beauty floor. Lush gives the property a natural cosmetics identity.
The property’s dedicated entertainment zone created within the expanded footprint beyond the original Carousel Center gives the property an entertainment dwell identity that draws the central New York family household for non-shopping entertainment occasions. DSW and Lovisa serve the accessible footwear and accessories categories. The property’s downtown Syracuse lakefront position on Destiny USA Drive gives it a waterfront and urban catchment that combines with the I-81 and I-90 interchange access to draw trade area visitors from Utica, Binghamton, and the broader central New York region.
The property’s commercial role in central New York is the Syracuse downtown super-regional and entertainment mall: a Macy’s-Apex Entertainment department store and experiential anchor whose Burlington-TJ Maxx off-price identity, expanded waterfront footprint, and central New York state trade area give the Syracuse, Utica, and regional central New York household the primary super-regional comparison-shopping and entertainment destination in the mid-tier commercial corridor between Rochester and Albany.
Sit-down dining at the property includes P.F. Chang's, Texas de Brazil and The Cheesecake Factory. Quick options include Burger King, Charley's Philly Steak, Johnny Rockets, Panera Bread and Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen.
