Opened in 1972, the Livingston Mall has long been a staple of the community. Nonetheless, the Mall has faced a variety of challenges as e-commerce, consumer preferences, and the Covid-19 pandemic impacted its viability. Faced with shuttered anchor stores, declining patronage, and growing maintenance issues, the Township deemed the Mall as an “Area in Need of Redevelopment” in October, 2024.

As we close the chapter on the first 50 years of the Livingston Mall, the Township now looks to create a community-led vision of what the Livingston Mall property will look like for the next 50 years. Appreciating the unique opportunity and challenges that come with redeveloping 58 acres of prominent property, the Township invites the Livingston community to make their voice heard as part of a series of community meetings. Through this comprehensive process, the Township seeks to hear from as many voices in the community as possible to gain an assessment of local issues and desires, ultimately rooting the future of the property in a common community vision. This approach creates quality places that contribute to our community’s health, happiness, and well-being.
