The Moorestown Mall Guide: Shops, Dining and The Pearl in 2026
The Moorestown Mall at 400 NJ-38 has served the Town of Quality since 1963, and in 2026 it is in the middle of its biggest transformation yet. Here is what is open right now, what is being built, and how the redevelopment is changing the Route 38 corridor.
The Moorestown Mall is the largest shopping destination in Moorestown, a roughly 1.06 million square foot property on Route 38 that opened in 1963 and is owned and managed by PREIT. Far from fading away, the mall is being redeveloped into a mixed-use district that combines retail, medical offices, and a brand new apartment community. For shoppers, that means Boscov's, Regal Cinemas, and a growing list of specialty retailers remain open today, while the property around them changes. It pairs well with the independent shops and boutiques covered in our Shopping in Moorestown guide, and it is one stop on the wider Things to Do circuit.
This guide covers what is open at the Moorestown Mall in 2026, where to eat, the new Pearl apartments, and the projects still under construction.

What's Open
What Is Open at the Moorestown Mall in 2026?
The mall remains fully open and operating through its redevelopment. The traditional department store anchors of the past are mostly gone, and in their place the property now mixes big box retail, healthcare, dining, and entertainment.
Anchor Tenants
- Boscov's, the family-owned department store anchor.
- Regal Cinemas, including premium experience auditoriums.
- Cooper University Health Care Moorestown Campus, the outpatient medical center that took over the former Sears building.
Junior Anchors and Shops
Five Below, HomeSense, Michaels, and Sierra Trading Post operate from converted anchor space with exterior entrances, and the mall's tenant list includes H&M, Bath & Body Works, Kay Jewelers, Lids, Hot Topic, LensCrafters, Claire's, Banfield Pet Hospital, and more.
Tenant rosters shift as the redevelopment continues, so check the mall's own directory for the current lineup before a special trip.
New Housing
The Pearl Apartments: The Mall's New Neighborhood
The most visible sign of the mall's transformation is The Pearl, a five-story, 375-unit luxury apartment community at 1501 Nixon Drive built on roughly six acres of the mall's eastern parking lot, next to Boscov's.
The Pearl opened in late summer 2026, with an official ribbon cutting held on September 22, 2026. The building includes a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom rentals, with about 75 of the units set aside as affordable housing that fills through the township's income-verified lottery.
The arrival of hundreds of new residents at the mall site is a meaningful change for the Route 38 corridor, and home values across Moorestown are already part of that conversation. For the market picture, read the new construction guide and the monthly market reports.
What's Next
What Is Being Built Next at the Mall?
Parky's Family Entertainment Center
A family entertainment center called Parky's is under construction at the mall, adding arcade games, attractions, and family-friendly activities to the entertainment mix. It had not opened as of October 2026, even though Moorestown officials had earlier targeted a summer 2026 opening.
Cooper University Health Care Campus
The former Sears anchor is now the Cooper University Health Care Moorestown Campus, bringing outpatient care and steady weekday traffic to the property.
The Mixed-Use Master Plan
The township approved a redevelopment plan for the mall in 2021, and in 2022 PREIT sold 84 acres of the site to developer Bel Canto for future phases. The plan layers apartments, medical offices, retail, and entertainment into what was once a pure shopping center, the same mixed-use model succeeding at malls across the region.
Getting There
How to Get to the Moorestown Mall
The mall sits right on Route 38 at the southern edge of Moorestown, near the border with Mount Laurel, and it is roughly 20 minutes from Center City Philadelphia via I-295 and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the same corridor commuters use daily. It is an easy drive from every Moorestown neighborhood, and the surrounding lots offer convenient surface parking.
Because the redevelopment is active, construction and detours near the Pearl site and the Cooper campus can change from week to week. Give yourself a couple of extra minutes for parking on your first visit, and follow the directional signs to the entrance you want.
