Dick’s Sporting Goods has opened in a new location in the Hudson Valley Plaza in Kingston. The retailer, which had been at the Hudson Valley Mall, has moved to its new location that covers 52,832 square feet.
In May of 2024, the Town of Ulster’s Planning Board approved a site plan amendment allowing Dick’s to convert the space, which then was vacant and had been occupied by Gander Mountain, for its use. Gander Mountain specialized in hunting, fishing and other outdoor gear.
The owner of Hudson Valley Plaza, MCB Real Estate, which is based in Baltimore, characterized Dick’s as an exciting addition to the shopping center that covers 673,000-square-feet and features such national names as Walmart, Lowe’s, Sam’s Club, and PetSmart.
“Much of MCB Real Estate’s retail success is driven by a disciplined approach to pairing national brands with the needs of the surrounding community,” said MCB Principal Drew Gorman. “We don’t just fill space but create a total shopping experience. By selecting retailers that resonate with the local demographic and strategically complement our existing anchors, we maximize asset velocity and create a destination that truly serves the consumer and provides long-term property stability.”
MCB says that it now manages 22 million square feet of real estate worth $4 billion. Its properties include those in the retail, mixed-use, multifamily, industrial, office and health care fields.
MCB expects that the addition of Dick’s Sporting Goods will further strengthen traffic at the Hudson Valley Plaza and have a positive economic impact on the Kingston area and the population of 57,356 located within 15 minutes of the center.
