Saratoga Marketplace Unveils Updated Look, Renovated Spaces and New Retailers
SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Saratoga Marketplace, an indoor shopping and dining staple in downtown Saratoga Springs, has used the recent economic closure to reinvent the popular retail destination. Updates have included interior and exterior changes to individual stores and common spaces as well as the addition of new and expanded businesses.
The two-story retail arcade has recently revealed renovations such as the restoration of the tin ceiling, complete interior painting and new lighting throughout. The property will continue with further updates in the coming months and has also added in many safety precautions to the building for customer care while shopping.
The new bright and airy interior coordinates with the updated exterior courtyard complete with new turf lawn, tropical plants and spacious outdoor seating for Comfort Kitchen, The Night Owl and Tatu, the property’s restaurant establishments.
With a predominance of young, local entrepreneurs, the space is home to more than 14 retail, lifestyle and restaurant properties. New businesses that have recently opened include Into Mischief, featuring gifts and home décor boutique, Saratoga Chocolate Company, Bella and Lindy, a dog gifts and treats store, Studio Sweet, a nationally recognized furniture designer, and Saratoga CBD Wellness. Betsy Olmsted Designs, a local textile designer with national recognition who’s been featured in Country Living, House Beautiful and HGTV Magazine to name a few, opened her first brick and mortar storefront on the main level.
The Saratoga Marketplace is home to several art galleries including Frankie Flores, David Hill and Amp Gallery which features approximately 20 of the region’s top local artists, Lex and Cleo, which presents children’s clothing, gifts and toys has greatly expanded in its new space at the front of the building. Also updated are Lucia, Paper Dolls, Pangea and Yoga Mandali.
The expansive courtyard at Saratoga Marketplace connects the mall with its sister property, 17 Maple Ave., which has undergone extensive renovations over the last year, including the launch of the new cocktail bar and dance club, The Night Owl. Tatu, an authentic Mexican restaurant, opened last fall on the newly renovated second floor.
Opening this month, The Aston, is a modern living space available for private bookings. The Aston sits on the third floor above Tatu adding a stay component to the complex. This penthouse-style apartment boasts a rooftop patio, high ceilings with three bedrooms and one bath.
The Saratoga Marketplace is owned by Saratoga Historic Restorations, Thomas Gardner and Mark Straus partners. For more information visit facebook.com/Saratoga-Marketplace or call Lucy Moran at 917-842-8924.
