Newport Centre

Newport Centre is a shopping mall in Jersey City, New Jersey that opened in 1987. It is a major component of the enormous Newport, Jersey City, mixed-use community on the Hudson River waterfront across from lower Manhattan. One of eleven shopping malls in New Jersey managed by Simon Property Group, it is located at 30 Mall Drive West, and is bound by Henderson Street on the west, Mall Drive East on the east, 6th Street on the south, and Newport Parkway on the north. The mall has a gross leasable area of 1,152,599 sq ft (107,080.0 m2). The super-regional mall is the first of its size in Hudson County.
== Stores ==
The mall, four anchors and 167 other stores and attractions, opened to the public in October 1987 with Sears and Stern's as two of the four anchors operating. The 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) was intended to draw residents from the new Newport waterfront development and the surrounding area, as well as shoppers from Bergen County, where blue laws keep shopping malls closed on Sundays.
There are three floors to the mall complex. The mall is a part of the Newport Complex, which includes the Newport Tower, the sixth tallest building in Jersey City. Both it and the Hudson Mall are in an "Urban Enterprise Zone", reducing the state sales tax on purchases from 6.625% to 3.3125% at eligible merchants (with no sales tax on clothing). On January 5, 2024, it was announced that Sears, the last location in the state, would be closing at the mall in Spring 2024.
The mall is anchored by JCPenney, Kohl's, Macy's with one vacant anchor last occupied by Sears which closed in 2024 as of March unknown date Sears is (Now Closed) 
That leaves JCPenney, Kohl’s, and Macy’s, left. 
== Transportation ==
The mall can be reached via the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail's Newport station and the PATH train's Newport station. It is served by New Jersey Transit buses and is the terminus for routes from Jersey City Heights and the North Hudson towns of Guttenberg, North Bergen, West New York and Union City.
== 2020 closure ==
On March 16, 2020, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop ordered the Newport Centre to be closed for an undisclosed period due to the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic. The next day, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, backed this temporary closure and ordered all malls in New Jersey to temporarily close as well.
