The Shops at Riverside

The Shops at Riverside is a 67,000-sqm luxury-positioned retail and dining destination in Hackensack, Bergen County, New Jersey, operated by Simon Property Group. The property distinguishes itself from conventional enclosed regional malls through a dining concentration anchored by Morton’s The Steakhouse, True Food Kitchen, Maggiano’s Little Italy, Rosa Mexicano, P.F. Chang’s, The Cheesecake Factory, and Houston’s, the most complete upscale dining cluster of any New Jersey suburban retail property. Life Time fitness anchors the health and wellness component.

Bloomingdale’s serves as the sole department store anchor, supplemented by a boutique circuit covering Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co, Ferragamo, Rolex, Max Mara, The Webster, and ZEGNA. The contemporary-premium fashion register includes Tory Burch, Vince, Free People, Anthropologie, Brooks Brothers, CH Carolina Herrera, Peserico, and Variazioni Italy. The home category is anchored by Arhaus, Pottery Barn, and Williams Sonoma at consistent premium positioning.

Bergen County’s approximately 940,000 residents include an upper-income tier concentrated in communities such as Alpine, Saddle River, Ho-Ho-Kus, and Ridgewood, representing the natural consumer for the property’s luxury boutique circuit. Route 4 and I-80 access positions the property between the Garden State Plaza mass-market corridor and the Short Hills luxury market across the Hudson River, drawing from both the Hackensack-Teaneck residential core and the broader northern Bergen affluent belt.

The Shops at Riverside holds a complementary rather than competitive position relative to Garden State Plaza, serving a premium dining and luxury boutique occasion rather than the broad comparison-shopping mission of the adjacent super-regional mall. The dining concentration is the primary differentiator: the property functions as a destination restaurant complex with high-end retail adjacency as much as a retail mall with restaurant complement. For luxury brands seeking Bergen County presence in a boutique-format environment, Riverside is the natural point of entry over the department-store-anchored Garden State Plaza format.
