The mall is served by the Q29, Q47 and Q54 bus routes. The complex was sold to The Macerich Company in February 2011 for $54 million. Beginning on February 19, 2009, Atlas Park went into foreclosure, with control going to lenders Caylon Bank and Société Générale (both based in France). Major tenants in the center include Regal Cinemas, TJ Maxx, ULTA, Foot Locker, California Pizza Kitchen, Chili's, Johnny Rockets, White House Black Market, and New York Sports Club. The shops were opened in late April 2006. Four of the buildings ranging in size from 13,000 to 93,000 square feet were renovated as part of the center, and sixteen buildings in the vicinity of Cooper Avenue and 80th Street were demolished and replaced by a 2.3-acre (9,300 m 2) landscaped park. It was redeveloped in the 2000s after years of struggling to find tenants. Freight operations to and from the terminal were facilitated by the Long Island Rail Road's Montauk Branch at the park's south end. In its heyday in the 1950s, the industrial park housed companies such as General Electric, Kraft, Westinghouse, and New York Telephone. In 1922, Henry Hemmerdinger (whose family operates ATCO Properties) purchased a warehouse in the area, which would evolve Atlas Terminals. In June 1902, the American Grass Products Company purchased the land and constructed a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m 2) brick factory, and in 1903 a power plant was constructed. What is now Atlas Park began as 19 acres (7.7 ha) of farmland between Cooper Avenue and Dry Harbor Road (present-day 80th Street ). The Shops at Atlas Park was opened in April 2006 by ATCO Properties, encompassing the site of the former 25-acre (100,000 m 2) Atlas Terminals industrial park, both of which were named after bodybuilder Charles Atlas who resided in nearby Middle Village.
