Landmark Center

There isn’t a point anymore. At this point in time, there are ONLY 4 retailers making this busy spot somewhat worthwhile: REI, Staples, Bed, Bath & Beyond, & Blick Art Materials. That’s IT! Best Buy? GONE. Longhorn Steakhouse? GONE. Quizno’s Subs? Cold Stone? Both GONE. I bet this place will go the way of the dinosaur at some point. It’s quite pointless for me to ever shop here (as I have all of the stores in my direct area, all with free and large parking lots. Plus, I had a terrible experience parking here, just the same as many of the other reviews. I came to go Bed, Bath & Beyond & Blick Art Materials. I didn’t even up going to Blick. Just BB&B. I called prior and the store said if you shop at BB&B, parking is free. First, I went to the parking garage. There was NO space what-​so-​ever, and more than half of the parking spaces weren’t used due to large poles being right in front of them (this garage could be re-​lined to have SO many more spots!). Next, I went to the actual parking lot, after searching and searching in the garage, and found a spot. Exiting the store, I assumed since I had a receipt from BB&B, that it would validate that I shopped there. Exiting the plaza IS a nightmare. First, there are lots and lots of people trying to exit from both the parking garage and the lots. There is only one exit to Park Drive and one to another street in the back. The back (parking garage) is much easier to get in and out of, yet is much harder to find a parking spot. The front is much easier to find a spot in, yet getting in and out is SO much more timely and difficult. After waiting 15 minutes to get to the ticket booth, they said Bed Bath & Beyond had to stamp the ticket in order for parking to be free. I showed them my receipt and they said they couldn’t do anything about it. I told them that there shouldn’t be an issue with this as a payment method as I called BB&B and was TOLD parking would be free. They said they’d take down the license plate number and the top of my receipt and see if it would work. Still an annoying waster of time and something that is so stupid, that could have been easily avoided if I went to my local BB&B store. Plus, parking SHOULD be free!

The parking attendants are thieves! I know of three people today that your attendants stole money from after they handed them a validated parking ticket they still told them they owed money! You will be reported for fraud!

Absolutely not worth going to due to the cost of parking. Went to REI and bought a $ 50 climbing harness, after which they validated my parking. I thought: «great! I can leave the car while I grab some more things.» Well, little did I know when I pulled out I’d get hit with a $ 24 parking cost. It was supposed to be $ 28 but they said the validation reduced the cost by $ 4. I went to your property, spent money, and my parking cost ends up being 50% of the cost of my item. Never going to park or shop here again.

Parking prices (even when validated) are very overpriced — not worth driving to at all.

d**ks. d**ks as far as the eye can see. We were waiting for a parking space to open up in the appropriate location a some d**k in a car went around the loop the wrong direction, and stole the space. Like this person is by far the worst kind of human being. I swear I also saw him shake a baby, kick 5 puppies, and use Styrofoam containers.

Exercise extreme caution in this garage. It’s not just the parking challenges, but the crime. Last summer I came to watch a film and returned to find my car window smashed and my computer bag gone. The bag was recovered (fortunately I left my computer at work that day). The security guys confirmed that thefts are common. Word to the wise – do not leave anything remotely tempting in your car – especially on nights when the Red Sox are playing. The thieves know the garage will have little foot traffic for hours and they take advantage.

To support few people’s opinion about the parking at Landmark I will say: «Never again!»
I was going to Best Buy and as I was entering the parking lot I saw that there is a fee for parking. So, I decided not to park there. As I was about to leave the entry way a helpful employee informed me that if I get my ticket validated I can park for free. I though «Great!» and parked right in front of the store. One thing the guy didn’t mention was that the «free» parking is good only for 10 min… and as I was exiting the parking lot I was asked to pay $ 5…
It seems like not that much, but have I known that they will charge me I would have parked on the street…

I don’t care how good the shops are, I won’t return because of the poor parking. One SUV takes up 3 spaces and its a never ending maize. I went in to find an item, forgot to validate and ending up paying $ 3 for a 15 min errand (5 minutes in store, 10 minutes try to park

We went here on Saturday night for a midnight movie. The movie, theater, and popcorn were all fine and I’ll write about those in the actual theater Unilocal page.
This review however is about the parking lot.
Worst design ever! The place is a maze, you’ll drive around in circles trying to figure out how to get in out and on different floors. Seriously put better signage in there!
We didn’t know we had to get the movie ticket stamped by the movie theater and there is a huge difference in price. It’s only $ 4 to park there if you see a movie or $ 15 if it’s not validated. When we went to leave the parking lot the parking attendant wouldn’t let us just pay $ 4. We told him we didn’t know about the validation and the movie theater never offered it to us. So we had to drive back into the maze of a parking lot to get to the theater door, well guess what it’s 2 AM and the place is closed so we couldn’t get back inside to get our parking lot ticket stamped. We went back to the parking attendant and he said no we had to pay the full price. We explained to him we would get it validated if we could, but the place was closed. We had the movie ticket stubs to prove we were at the movie. It wasn’t our fault! Seriously what else would we be doing at that area at 2am? There was no Red Sox game and the rest of the stores were closed. Finally after a yelling match he let us through after scolding us. He seriously was the most patronizing jerk face parking attendant I have ever dealt with. He’s seriously compensating for something, with his big unnecessary ego. I will never park there again.

There really isn’t anything wrong with what is currently at the landmark center I just wish there were a few other stores. The REI and Best Buy are well stocked and the movie theater is good (Not sure how the prices compare to other theaters). I live right across the street so it is really nice. It is always great that I can go grab some bagels and bread at Panera!

nothing here really. they’re trying very hard to make it something that it’s not but great effort. the best thing that they have going here is the movies.

This handy little mall has been a life saver for me and my friends. Whenever I’m feeling a bit of a shopping mood, I can easily head over to Landmark and fulfill those shopping needs. It’s also a great example of using an old building in a practical way. It gets crazy busy when all the college kids move in, but is a very useful addition to the Fenway area.

It’s about time developers worked with old spaces instead of just ripping them down to build more soulless cubes. The Landmark Center was once a Sears, Roebuck warehouse that sat empty for years. Now this 1930s-​era tower houses some box stores (without the box), a movie theater multiplex, a few chain restaurants, and some offices. It’s near the Fenway stop on the T and within walking distance of St. Mary’s and Kenmore Square. There’s also plenty of parking if you insist on driving or if you can’t wait for delivery on the washer, dryer, and 52-​inch plasma TV you just bought at Best Buy.
Note to the observant few who’ve happened to look closely at the Porter Exchange building: Did you see the family resemblance?

This is a pretty cool mini-​mall in an awesome looking building. The good is that there’s a Best Buy and a Bed, Bath and Beyond. They also have an REI, and a couple of restaurants, a Starbucks across the street. there seemed to plenty of parking, and it’s right near a T stop, which rocks.
The BBB is HUGE – a ridiculous amount of consumer stuff to choose from. I got lost from the selection of sheets alone. And the sales people in both stores were very helpful and friendly. And, BBB took an expired coupon! Cool!
There’s a somewhat odd food court place on the 2^nd floor, Fresh City. It was okay, somewhat overpriced. Props to them for having Harney & Sons tea, but negative stars for the music: really bad 80’s songs: REI Speedwagon, yikes. However, it’s a decent place to grab something to eat before or after you pick up your spankin’ new garbage can from Bed Bath & Beyond.
The only downsides to the center is that they need way more stores. It’s empty and depressing inside, with an-​almost ghetto mall feel. So they could use a good food court, maybe a bookstore, I don’t know, cool boutiques, whatever.

One of the best recent developments in the Kenmore/​Fenway area. Has really well-​stocked, well-​maintained stores and has a little bit of everything. I always find what I’m looking for. There’s a Best Buy, REI, Staples, Bed Bath & Beyond, Blick Art Store, Coldstone, Quiznos, Fresh City, Longhorn Steak House, and AMC Fenway 13 Theaters. Parking is pretty cheap when validated at any of the stores.

This mall is a new development in what used to be a Sears distribution center. The original art deco style building still stands there but has been converted to a new multi-​use program.
Stores there include a large AMC theater, the Art Store, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, Cold Stone Creamery, Longhorn Steakhouse, quisnos, Boston Sports club, and REI.
It is located DIRECTLY at the Fenway T stop on the Green line (D train).
It is somewhat inconvenient and unpleasant on a hot day that the stores aren’t all connected on the interior.
