![]() The NYC Subway System has no stops within reasonable distance only local bus routes serve the mall. Queens Boulevard is nowhere nearby, as well as any interstate or expressway. Woodhaven Boulevard is the nearest road that fits such a description, but is nearly always bogged down with traffic. It's area is at best middle class (recall that this place is particularly more upscale), and it not really located near any major highway. Atlas Park Mall is located in the midst of a low-density residential neighborhood, to the southwest of a large cemetery. There are several reasons as to why I say this place never started well at all. The “anchors,” or rather the only successfully attractive stores of the center, are Borders, Stein Mart, and Regal Cinemas. Stores/restaurants included Coldwater Creek, Chico's, California Pizza Kitchen, Johnny Rockets, Chili's, Borders, Stein Mart, Amish Market, New York Sports Clubs, White House Black Market, and a few other local, privately owned entries. The center was loaded with an odd array of stores, most high end, some not, and also features several restaurants along with a brand new Regal Cinemas. At it's opening in April 2006, the center consisted of four retail buildings, one office building, and two parking garages. The long dormant buildings of the center, located in the middle of Queens, the most populous borough of New York City, were extensively renovated into an indoor/outdoor retail and entertainment center by Atco Properties. The Atlas Park Mall was built upon the site of the former Atlas Terminals Industrial Park, which at one time housed brands like GE and Westinghouse. While this place is a quasi-lifestyle enter, personally I feel it was never really alive at all. The Shops at Atlas Park, a.k.a Atlas Park Mall, is quite possibly the youngest dead mall to be submitted to Deadmalls.
