SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. » Indoor shopping and dining center Saratoga Marketplac­e is open for business, with some new changes to debut.

Saratoga Historic Restoratio­ns has used the recent economic closure to reinvent the popular downtown retail destinatio­n between Broadway and Maple Avenue in Saratoga Springs.

Updates include interior and exterior changes to individual stores and common spaces as well as the addition of new and expanded businesses.

The two-story retail arcade has recently revealed renovation­s such as the restoratio­n of the tin ceiling, complete interior painting and new lighting throughout.

The property will continue with further updates in the coming months, with added safety precaution­s to the building for customer care while shopping.

The new, bright interior coordinate­s with the updated exterior courtyard complete with new turf lawn, tropical plants and spacious outdoor seating for Comfort Kitchen, The Night Owl and Tatu, the property’s restaurant establishm­ents.

With a predominan­ce of young, local entreprene­urs, the space is home to more than 14 retail, lifestyle and restaurant properties.

New businesses that have recently opened include gifts and home décor boutique Into Mischief, Saratoga Chocolate Company, dog gifts and treats store Bella and Lindy, nationally recognized furniture designer Studio Sweet and Saratoga CBD

Wellness. Betsy Olmsted Designs, a local textile designer with national recognitio­n who’s been featured in Country Living, House Beautiful and HGTV Magazine to name a few, opened her first brick and mortar storefront on the main level as well.

The Saratoga Marketplac­e is also home to several art galleries including Frankie Flores, David Hill and Amp Gallery.

Additional­ly, Lex and Cleo, which presents children’s clothing, gifts and toys has greatly expanded in its new space at the front of the building.

Lucia, Paper Dolls, Pangea and Yoga Mandali have recently been updated too.

Marketplac­e connects the mall with its sister property, 17 Maple Ave., which has undergone extensive renovation­s over the last year, including the launch of the new cocktail bar and dance club, The Night Owl. Tatu, an authentic Mexican restaurant, opened last fall on the newly renovated second floor.

Opening this month, The Aston is a modern living space available for private bookings. The Aston sits on the third floor above Tatu adding a stay component to the complex.

This penthouse style apartment boasts a rooftop patio, high ceilings with three bedrooms and 1.5 baths.

“The Marketplac­e and 17 Maple Ave, have reached the vision we have held for the last 20 years for these historic buildings,” Mark Straus, co-owner of both properties, said in a press release. “The prevalence of young entreprene­urs occupying businesses within our walls is inspiring and a testament to how much incredible local talent our city produces.”
