The Mall at Fox Run will stand for a little while longer.
Torrington Properties engineering consultant Gregg Mikolaities told the Newington Planning Board late last month that it won’t start tearing down the building until “the second quarter of 2026,” according to the Portsmouth Herald.
The company has spent just over $66 million so far buying up the mall and parcels housing its anchor stores. It previously gave the few remaining tenants until January to vacate their storefronts after months of negotiations.
Plans for the redevelopment of the 82-acre mall into “Seacoast Landing” haven’t yet been brought to town officials, but at a Planning Board meeting last month, Torrington representatives promised to bring subdivision plans for approval in December or January and then bring specific site plans during the first quarter of 2026.
Torrington had previously pledged the redevelopment, just outside Portsmouth, would be “completely” commercial. The site’s zoning does not allow housing.
Conceptual plans posted to a listing on national retail brokerage Atlantic Retail’s website show three big box-style anchors, a small medical office building, a handful of retail/restaurant pads and a lifestyle center-type development focused on a park-like space.
