Facts and practical information

The Uncle Sam Atrium and Parking Garage is an enclosed urban shopping mall, office space, and parking garage in downtown Troy, New York. Originally envisioned as a much larger $96 million shopping mall in the early 1970s, the project stagnated due to financial problems until local developer Carl Grimm put forth the financing to complete a smaller shopping center. Due to its small size, Troy's population loss, and competition from nearby larger suburban malls, the Uncle Sam Atrium became underutilized and mostly vacant by the early 1990s. In the late 1990s and 2000s, the mall was bought by David Bryce and saw most of its retail space converted to offices for the New York State Department of Health and Department of Labor. Today, the mall along with the attached Frear Building is mostly occupied by office space and retail. ()
