About Smith Haven Mall

Smith Haven Mall is a longstanding shopping destination serving Lake Grove and nearby St. James. Operated by Simon Property Group since 1995, the mall blends indoor shopping with an adjacent open-air lifestyle center. Center Court remains a central gathering spot, hosting events and art installations over the years. As of 2023, Stony Brook Medicine operates an outpatient facility in the former Sears space, and a transformation project (2025–2026) is bringing new tenants and amenities while preserving the mall’s character.
