context_page_description: Samanea New York Market is a planned mixed-use development center located in Uniondale, New York, on Old Country Road and Merchants Concourse, currently managed and owned by Lesso Mall Development Long Island Inc. The center is being built inside the mostly unoccupied Mall At The Source, which was named for its former anchor store Fortunoff, which the mall was built around and which closed in June 2009.
  With the closure of Fortunoff, Steve and Barry's, and Circuit City, three large anchor stores have become vacant. The drop of foot traffic by the loss of the anchors has caused other stores – the three aforementioned subanchor chains, plus Saks Off 5th, & Forever 21 – and the entire food court – including McDonald's, Starbucks, Ranch 1 – to pull out from the mall. Simon Property Group and unnamed co-owners of the Mall at the Source defaulted on a $124 million balloon interest-only mortgage in March 2009. It was purchased by a European pension fund in August 2012 and auctioned. In November 2016, it was announced that the Mall at the Source will be sold and could be demolished to make way for a new mixed use development.
context_section_description: The Mall at the Source had two floors and is shaped like an L. Because of this, the mall had separate "courts", named after the stores that anchor it (except for Center Court). Each anchor store had its own public entrance but not all have mall entrances; these stores tend to stay open later than the interior stores.
