Garden State Plaza is a large shopping mall in Paramus, New Jersey, a suburb of New York City on the intersection of New Jersey State Highway 4 and New Jersey State Highway 17 near the Garden State Parkway. At 2,000,000 square feet (186,000 m²), it is the largest mall in New Jersey and, behind the Palisades Center at 3,500,000 square feet (325,000 m²), the second-largest mall in the New York City metropolitan area. It is also a big bus transfer point for NJ Transit, as the 162 and 163 to the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the 171 and 175 to the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, the 770 to Paterson and Hackensack, the 709 to Bloomfield, and Bergen County Academy Lines-contracted local routes 751, 753, 755, 756 and 758, stop there. Its department store anchors are JC Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom, and it is across Route 4 from an IKEA.
Originally built as an open-air shopping "plaza", the mall was subsequently enclosed in response to competitive pressure from newer full-enclosed malls such as Willowbrook.
