TJ Maxx has announced it is closing its Mazza Gallerie location at 5300 Wisconsin Ave. in the Friendship Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. Signage on the store reads, “Friendship Heights T.J. Maxx closing Dec. 24th. Everything is 20% off this week!”, according to a report by PoPville. Mazza Gallerie was purchased by Tishman Speyer at foreclosure auction for around $50 million back in August of 2020. The Washington Business Journal reported in 2021 that Tishman Speyer was going to redevelop the center as apartments, and that the new owners planned to keep some retail space as well as the underground parking garage.
The mall has been mostly empty since the beginning of the pandemic. Neiman Marcus, one of the original stores in the mall, closed in 2020 and AMC Mazza Gallerie 7 announced in February 2021 that they would not be reopening. Construction of the mall began in 1977 and it was previously remodeled back in 1997. From www.mazzagallerie.com: “Since 1978 Mazza Gallerie has served as DC’s choice for upscale retail and entertainment. Boasting 3 levels of shops and eateries and a full level movie theatre, Mazza Gallerie is a premiere destination for fun and shopping.”
