History
Originally opened in 1989 as a joint venture of New England Development and The Pyramid Companies, Emerald Square's original anchors included JCPenney, Sears, and G. Fox.,[2] with Lechmere added in 1992. The G. Fox store was renamed Filene's in 1993,[3] while Lechmere was closed in 1997 as a result of chain liquidation. Lord & Taylor bought the vacant location in 1998 and doubled the space.[4] A carousel was installed in the food court 1999.
Meanwhile, Pyramid had sold its interest in the mall in 1998 to New England Development,[5] which turned around and sold most of its shopping mall portfolio to a joint venture led by Simon Property Group in 1999. Lord & Taylor was repositioned and closed this location entirely in 2004. The space converted to Filene's, which had opened a separate Men's & Home store in 2005. In 2006, Filene's stores became Macy's, as well as the Home & Men's stores.
