Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center Overview
Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center are two retail complexes situated along Atlantic Avenue, bordered by Hanson Place, Fort Greene Place, and Flatbush Avenue within the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. These malls are positioned near Downtown Brooklyn. Atlantic Terminal stands opposite Atlantic Center Mall, with a small enclosed pedestrian bridge linking the Target stores of both centers. Both properties are managed and owned by Madison International Realty.
On December 22, 2017, Madison International Realty completed the acquisition of Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center from Forest City Realty Trust. This followed Madison’s initial purchase of a 49% interest in Forest City's portfolio in 2011, before acquiring the remaining 51% in 2017. This transaction established Madison International Realty as a leading retail property owner in New York. Besides serving as a shopping destination, Atlantic Terminal also functions as an office building and houses part of the ticketing facilities for the Long Island Rail Road's Atlantic Terminal. Meanwhile, sections of Atlantic Center underwent renovations to align with the upgrades made to Atlantic Terminal.
Both malls are located directly across Atlantic Avenue from the Barclays Center arena within the Pacific Park development area, which is overseen by Forest City Ratner.
In the 1950s, this site was originally earmarked for a proposed domed baseball stadium by then-owner Walter O'Malley of the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, this plan was never realized, leading to the Dodgers' relocation to Los Angeles in 1958.
Floors
Atlantic Terminal encompasses five levels. The subterranean floors house the LIRR and New York City Subway stations, effectively situated in the basement. Retail spaces occupy the upper stories, featuring major tenants such as Bath & Body Works, Chuck E Cheese, DSW, Sephora, Uniqlo, and prominently, Target. This Target location adopts the urban Target design concept and spans two floors within the mall. Its infrastructure includes escalators, elevators, and a shopping cart conveyor, design elements mirrored in other urban stores throughout New York City and beyond. Among the busiest in the nation for their respective brands, Target, Chuck E Cheese, and Buffalo Wild Wings stand out within the mall. Two separate Starbucks outlets operate on-site: one inside Target and another situated in the LIRR Atlantic Terminal ticketing area.
The Atlantic Center features three retail levels complemented by two underground parking decks. The first floor hosts Stop and Shop and Old Navy, while the second level contains Best Buy, Marshalls, and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, along with several smaller shops. On the third floor, visitors will find a Burlington Coat Factory and Dave & Busters. Additionally, a music store owned by Afro-Uruguayan singer Jimmy Santos operates within Atlantic Center.
