Colonie Center is a shopping mall situated in Roessleville, New York, a suburb within the Albany, New York metropolitan area. It occupies a prominent location at the junction of Central Avenue, Wolf Road, and Interstate 87. Established in 1966 as the inaugural enclosed shopping complex in New York's Capital Region, the mall extends across two levels and features approximately 110 retail outlets alongside a dedicated food court. Ownership changed hands in April 2013 when KKR, collaborating with Colonie Pacific, acquired the property; KKR divested its interest on July 9, 2021.
The mall’s primary anchors consist of Macy's, Boscov's, L.L. Bean, Barnes & Noble, and Whole Foods Market. Additionally, it includes a 13-screen stadium-seating cinema operated by Regal Cinemas & RPX. A former tenant, Christmas Tree Shops, maintained a presence until its closure in 2023.
By 2019, redevelopment transformed the former Sears auto center to accommodate both BJ's Restaurants and Ethan Allen. Sears announced its store closure in August 2017 as part of a broader strategy to reduce physical retail locations. Discussions regarding potential new tenants have involved Seritage Growth Properties, responsible for mall development, with speculation that retailers such as Crate & Barrel or Saks OFF 5th might occupy the vacated spaces.
On June 29, 2023, Christmas Tree Shops declared liquidation due to unresolved financial difficulties stemming from supply chain disruptions. Following this, on July 5, 2023, it was disclosed that the former Sears area would be subdivided and redeveloped by Sierra and Floor & Decor.
