     History
    Constructed in 1988, The Rotterdam Square Mall opened on September 1, 1988, it had actually been in planning for many years.

    The mall has an area of 900,000 square feet (84,000 m2) on one level with over 80 stores, a 450-seat food court as well as restaurants and a 7 screen cinema. The mall has several unique features, including a large indoor pool fountain with many lights and jets firing in sequence. The mall, which was built on grounds of a formal historic home, was also built around the Vedder Family grave site. Their plots and grave stones are visible and fenced in next to a mall entrance.

    When it opened, the mall was originally owned by Wilmorite Properties (who also owned Mohawk Mall in Schenectady and Wilton Mall in Wilton) until 2005, when Wilmorite was acquired by The Macerich Company, who then took over ownership and management of most of their properties. The mall was purchased by Kohan Retail Investment Group in January 2014 for 8.5 million dollars.

    Several times since Kohan has owned the mall, they have become delinquent in utility payments, and the electricity supplier, National Grid, shut off power to the mall on several occasions, sometimes during the middle of a busy Christmas Shopping Season day.

    The 7 screen cinema was owned by Sony-Loews Cineplex, and is now operated by Zurich Cinemas (an independent company).

    I have started to take photos as due to the changing ownership, tenant attrition, the mall's future is beginning to be in doubt.
