A luxe new shopping village is on the rise in Elmont, luring customers along the Nassau-Queens border with bold brand names at deep discounts.
Just a puck’s throw from UBS Arena, Belmont Park Village launched in the fall with a handful of boutiques and eateries marking its initial debut. But much of its offerings are still to come, as the 340,000-square-foot property has a capacity to house as many as 155 boutiques, a dozen of which are expected to open early this year.

"We want to make sure that people are always having a unique experience every single time that they visit," says Jason Katz, chief commercial officer at Value Retail, the London-based developer behind the open-air complex. In turn, "we’ll be having rolling openings every few weeks."

At the village, products are from the previous season and are marked up to 65% off. Notable brands opening in the first half of the year include Charles Tyrwhitt (chic men’s shirts), Vivienne Westwood (bold fashions), as well as The North Face (stylish outdoor wear).
These brand-name stores join 15 boutiques already open at the village. Most recent launches include Sunglass Hut, Missoni, Orlebar Brown, Peserico, and Jacob Cohen, known, respectively, for elegant knitwear, upscale beachwear, Italian menswear and luxury denim fashions.

Belmont Park Village is Value Retail’s first U.S. village in the Bicester Collection — and its 12th overall. The shopping center is a part of a $1.5 billion redevelopment project which includes the nearby UBS Arena, according to a November Newsday report. Katz says Value Retail is focusing on setting "an element of differentiation" for shoppers familiar with the Long Island outlet experience. That goes for the boutiques selected (which may remind customers more so of an Americana Manhasset than a traditional outlet mall) and restaurants (seven are expected), as well as services to boost the experience. During free, reservation-based hands-free shopping, for instance, the concierge holds your bags while you make other purchases.
And family-friendly activities slated throughout the year make a visit more festive and attract a diverse group of shoppers. On Feb. 1-2, the village’s Lunar New Year celebration features a dance performance, sweepstakes and the chance to create origami animals.
Elmont resident Josh Johnson, 27, appreciates the village's diverse off-price options for gifts — and himself — as well as the look and layout of the complex. "I like the architecture and pathways," says Johnson. “ It makes you feel as though you're escaping the surrounding environment to be somewhere else that's totally different."
