The mall plaza between Barnes & Noble and Shake Shack is the proposed site.

Carmine Gualtieri plans to begin building Skate Staten Island this week, aiming to finish before November 13.

The project at Staten Island Mall pairs real ice with skate rentals, a restaurant and heated dining igloos. A chiller would keep the surface frozen, while a compact resurfacer would maintain it.
