BDG Past
The Arches
Blumenfeld Development Group developed The Arches which opened in October 2008. The Arches is the first-of-its-kind premier outlet center that features Tanger brand name outlet stores with an emphasis on luxury goods as well as restaurants, cafes, and a theater in a magnificent Old World-inspired “marketplace.” Designed by Adam’s Architecture, Susan Blumenfeld Interiors, and Michael DeJoseph of BDG, The Arches offers a truly metropolitan, open-air shopping experience. The implementation of that Old World-style via Venetian plaster and an extensive color palette allows visitors to feel like they are strolling down a European promenade as they browse through rows of small to large retail stores interspersed with plenty of dining options. The center encompasses many architectural highlights, such as the seasonal open-air ice rink – a feature made possible by the installation of refrigeration units underneath the central fountain.
The Arches has transformed a former industrial site into a magnificent, architectural development and maximized its highest and best use for the community. The area’ economy is now benefitting from becoming the destination for premier outlet shopping, attracting Long Island’s strong demographic of buyers with purchasing power, and benefitting its image by having the first outlet center of such prestige in the country.

The building is the new manufacturing home for Fat Witch Bakery. Through the collaboration of BDG Construction and in-house architecture staff, a well-crafted, customized space cradles the company’s industrial baking appliances, executive offices, and packaging/shipping/receiving areas. The location provides a matchless opportunity for light industrial businesses, like Fat Witch, to be located in Manhattan while still allowing easy access to the surrounding Boroughs, Long Island, Westchester County and New Jersey. Anchoring the building is Safe Horizons, a non for profit organization that is an advocate for abuse and violence prevention, based in New York City. The development provided a blank canvas for Safe Horizons to implement a new prototype support center that could house all services they provide in one building. Working closely with BDG Construction and in-house architecture staff, the entire floor area was astutely planned to achieve this goal. This project was completed in partnership with The Daten Group.
