Skyview on the Ridge is a future redevelopment of a shopping mall located inIrondequoit, New York, a suburb ofRochester. The mall opened in 1990 as Irondequoit Mall, featuringanchorsMcCurdy's,Sibley's,J. C. Penney, andSears.
On January 22, 2016, Angelo Ingrassia, a local real estate developer who specializes in developing premier properties, purchased the center.
On August 29, 2017, Angelo Ingrassia announced a plan to construct an office park along with retail, a community center, as well as a large residential component. The development is named Skyview on the Ridge.[1]
On July 30, 2019, the Town of Irondequoit approved a referendum that would allow the town to move forward by borrowing $7.25 million to build a community center.
Wilmorite Properties first announced plans for Irondequoit Mall in June 1985, and by May 1988, the first threeanchor stores were confirmed:Sears,J. C. Penney, andSibley's, which becameKaufmann's soon after opening. It opened in March 1990 with approximately 110 stores, and had an estimated 80,000 customers in its first weekend of business.McCurdy's opened as a fourth anchor store in 1992, which later became regional divisionThe Bon-Ton.[2] The mall was an early success and remained moderately popular until it was shuttered.[3]
Target opened on an outparcel in 2007.
In 2007, the center was purchased by Scott R. Congel, a former principal withThe Pyramid Companies of Syracuse. The sale triggered speculation that the surrounding property may be further developed.[4] Congel announced a large 421-room hotel, 330 condominium units and a 16-screen movie theater would be part of the project, along with retail, restaurant and office space and an underground parking garage.[5]
The recession hit financing before any work began.[6] With the exception of Sears and Macy's anchoring either end of the mall, the mall shuttered in February 2009 for further development.[2]
