Pheasant Lane Mall , occupying 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m 2 ), is one of New Hampshire's largest shopping centers and a focal point of the commercial area in southern Nashua.
Currently, the mall has more than 140 stores and kiosks, including five anchor stores: Sears, JCPenney, Macy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Target, plus 15 restaurants. In 2012, the company is owned and managed by Simon Property Group of Indianapolis. In March 2015 this mall was Simon's 7th best-selling center with $ 1,549 in annual sales per square foot.
Located just south of Exit 1 of F.E. Everett Turnpike/AS. Route 3 in Nashua and directly at exit-exit 36 ​​only from US 3 in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, this property crosses the state line, although all malls are in New Hampshire.
Its proximity to the border has long attracted buyers from Massachusetts looking to take advantage of New Hampshire's lack of sales tax.
About 1/3 of the parking lot and water runoff area is located in Tyngsborough. Buyers who park in front of the Sears entrance closer to the Buffalo Wild Wings walk across state lines in front of buildings on the sidewalk to get to and from their cars. The JCPenney Store has an unusual pentagonal shape on the country line to store it completely in New Hampshire up to a few inches. If the store still has a square corner at the south end, the entire mall will be subject to a Massachusetts sales tax, even with only a few inches of structure in Massachusetts.

Histori
This mall site was first categorized again by Nashua Aldermen Council in December 1978 with the aim of clearing the way for the main owner of Yankee Greyhound Inc. to build a major regional retail center on the site. In early 1984, the property was owned by State Properties of New England, formerly a minority owner; ground work has begun and steel has been ordered. After more than two years of development, the Pheasant Lane Mall opened on July 23, 1986. The original anchors were JCPenney, Jordan Marsh, Lechmere, and Sears with filene added in 1993. This site was previously a drive-in cinema, and for several years after its opening , former screen films are used to display the double pheasants logo.
The development of the resulting mall transformed the South of Nashua. This transforms the southeastern part of the city, roughly in accordance with the 8-city ward, from the sparsely populated areas to the plots of financial, retail and high-density housing development stretching from above the state border in Tyngsborough, Massachusetts, to Exit 3 of Everett Turnpike, just south of Rivier College. The emergence of the South Nashua triggered by the Pheasant Lane Mall has enhanced the identity of the municipality of Nashua outside the gateway to New Hampshire, and helped create its current status as part of the Greater Boston economic zone, and a hub for the surrounding bedroom community.
The nature of building on the border between a country without sales tax (New Hampshire) and a country with one (Massachusetts) is indicated in the change of plans and problems. Initially, the mall was straddling the border, with retail on the side of no-sales-tax. The restaurant is on the opposite end, because Massachusetts has lower food taxes. However, the Massachusetts government says all customers, in all stores, must pay sales tax to Massachusetts. Therefore, the mall is redesigned so that all the shops and restaurants are on the New Hampshire side of the border.
However, the lines of the site were made wrong, placing one corner of the JCPenney building in Massachusetts. Consequently, the JCPenney angle breaks and turns the bricks into the current pentagonal shape.
The location of Jordan Marsh was occupied in the spring of 1996 by Macy's, who later moved in early 2006 to the space previously taken by Filene when Macy's joined the property of Filene. Original Jordan Marsh's location in the mall is now occupied by Dick's Sporting Goods, Burtons Grill and Red Robin restaurants, and Shops Visionworks and Massage Envy Spa. Lechmere closed in the fall of 1997 and rebuilt into the Target store in the fall of 1999.
In 2011, Pheasant Lane underwent a $ 10 million renovation that included the redesign of food courts, lighting and new fixtures, ceramic tiles and carpets, as well as expansions to retailers and restaurants. Renovation completed in September 2012.
