Sangertown Square is regional shopping mall located in New Hartford, New York off Rts. 5 and 5A near Utica, New York. The mall was built in 1980 and has about 70 stores and a central food court. This mall is owned by The Pyramid Companies.
Much of the mall proper retains the decorations and architecture from the original design, which was dark brown floors and a quaint faux facades reminiscent of "Main Street" America perched above the food court. They continue to be repainted in the color scheme of their respective tenants below.
In 2005, the mall's once sunken center court was elevated, and brick ornamentation around its food court columns were removed. In 2007, the unique "boulder" fountain in front of JC Penney was buried with wood chips and artificial vegetation. Much of the globular tinted glass torches have gradually been removed.
