It is a major component of the enormous Newport, Jersey City, a mixed-use community on the Hudson River waterfront across from Lower Manhattan.

The mall, with four anchors and 165 stores, partially opened to the public in October 1987 with Sears and Stern's as two of the four anchors operating. [3] The 1,200,000-square-foot (110,000 m2) was intended to draw residents from the new Newport waterfront development and the surrounding area, as well as shoppers from Bergen County, where blue laws keep shopping malls closed on Sundays. [4]
The mall's official opening was on November 11, 1987, attended by New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean and Senator Frank Lautenberg. [5] On that date, the mall contained 75 tenants, featuring the two aforementioned anchor stores, Sam Goody, Benetton, Eddie Bauer, and Hallmark. [6]
There are three floors to the mall complex. The mall is part of the Newport Complex, which includes the Newport Tower, the sixth tallest building in Jersey City. Both it and the Hudson Mall are in an "Urban Enterprise Zone", reducing the state sales tax on purchases from 6.625% to 3.3125% at eligible merchants (with no sales tax on clothing).
The mall is anchored by JCPenney, Kohl's, Macy's, and AMC Theatres. [7]
On January 5, 2024, it was announced that Sears, the last location in the state, would be closing at the mall in Spring 2024. [8]

On March 16, 2020, Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop ordered the Newport Centre to be closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] The next day, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy backed this temporary closure and ordered all malls in New Jersey to temporarily close as well. [10] It reopened on June 29, 2020. [11]
