Westgate Mall (Bethlehem, PA): Living on Borrowed Time - Raw & Real Retail

This is our walkthrough of the Westgate Mall in Bethlehem, PA from October 23, 2018. This is a unique crossbreed between an enclosed strip center and a traditional mall. The center has seen far better days, and looks to be on the verge of being completely demalled, as it was just sold in October 2018 to New Jersey developer Onyx Equities LLC, who in their words said it looks forward to “implementing Onyx’s signature, value-add strategy”. Going from their portfolio of other properties, this seems to be a strategy of de-malling enclosed properties and turning them into either traditional strip centers or lifestyle centers.

Songs used in this video (in order):

Jean Bouchéty - Hulot's Holiday
Patchwork - Trigger Finger
Steve Martin - Sophisticated Mood
Mike Moran - The American Dream
Irving Martin & Brian Dee - Coffee Break

Here is the beginning of a thorough article from the ever helpful Skycity2 blog. I implore you to visit the link at the end to continue reading this fine writeup with many fine pictures:


Westgate Mall is one of those malls easy to miss. From the outside it does not even look like a mall. From aerials, it is easy to mistake it for a large strip center. This probably explains why in the many discussions about dying malls that this one is overlooked. Originally opening in 1973, the mall exists as a forgotten yet surviving early shopping center in Bethlehem. Since eclipsed by larger malls, the mall has largely become a community mall serving an ever decreasing customer base.

Developed by Harold S. Campbell, Westgate Mall is a combined enclosed strip and enclosed mall meaning that few like it exist anywhere. The anchors to the original center included Hess's on the west end of the main mall, Newberry's on the east end and George's IGA Foodliner on the strip portion. The mall also contains an upper level portion of offices on the strip portion over the top of the current Rite-Aid. Another second level office portion was located next to Newberry's, but that portion is walled off and currently unused. In all, it was a strangely designed center.

An interesting note about the Hess's is that it is identical in design to a store built at South Mall closer to Allentown. However, the enclosure of the mall was not handled in a typical fashion. Since the mall included both a strip and enclosed portion, ultimately the strip portion was enclosed, too! However, unlike most efforts to enclose a strip, it simply became an enclosed hallway with the original tenants on one side and the parking lot on the other with glass windows separating it. Only a portion of the enclosed strip actually has tenants on both sides. In addition, Hess's anchored the mall in a strange fashion with the store staggered like a discount store with the store set back away from the front of the mall. While it still does have a mall entrance, it includes a tiring set of steps and an odd diagonal door to the right going directly outside. In addition, Bon-Ton today takes up space of an inline tenant on the opposite side of the single door.

Today Westgate Mall is significantly vacant. Most of the active tenants are located in the front of the mall with parking lot access while the back of the enclosed mall is mostly empty. Bon-Ton went out of business in August 2018, and is now vacant. The mall has also not had any renovation in at least 30 years making it one of the most vintage malls still in operation in the state, but that was supposed to change when it was announced in 2015 that the mall would receive a $5 million dollar overhaul. That turned out to be simply the addition of Sky Zone Trampoline Park and a removal of the old staircase in the main mall corridor. How the mall hangs on is anybody's guess considering that the vast majority of shoppers drive a little further up the road to go to Lehigh Valley Mall.
