BURLINGTON, MA — Simon, the owner of the Burlington Mall, said it has completed "a multimillion-dollar revitalization and 130,000 square foot redevelopment" of the mall, according to a statement. The project includes three new retailers to open this year.

"Over the past five years, this project has elevated the Burlington Mall experience for customers and the community by adding nearly 50 new retail brands and eateries, plus a new outdoor park with green space and amenities," the statement reads. "The existing mall has been enhanced with elevated wood elements and porcelain tile finishes throughout the center, soft seating, directional signage and more."

Some of the retailers to join the mall during that time include Uniqlo and lululemon.

The centerpiece of the project is The Park at Burlington Mall, an outdoor space designed to serve as a gathering area for community events with a green space, fire pits, outdoor seating, and al fresco dining. This area hosts a variety of programming such as salsa lessons, yoga classes, and other outdoor fitness sessions.

Another aspect of the redevelopment is The Village at Burlington Mall, a standalone shopping center next to the main shopping complex. This area has 30,000 square feet dedicated to wellness, beauty, and dining, including locations for Sweetgreen, Sweathouz, All Eye Care Doctors, SkinMD, and Caffe Nero.

The Burlington Mall started as a single-floor shopping center in 1968.

The mall recently had plans approved for an Asian hot pot restaurant and a Mediterranean grill.
