MIAMI (Feb. 8, 2017)
– Brickell
City Centre, Miami’s landmark mixed-use development, unveiled its
luxury retail center in November of 2016. Following the opening, several
high-end and contemporary retailers have announced
their plans to join the center. Brickell City Centre has most recently
announced a two-story Zara, which will serve as a shopping destination
for men, women, and children, as well as a MAC Cosmetics store. Both
stores are set to open fall 2017.
“It
has been our goal to create a retail center where shoppers have access
to an extensive lineup of exciting and relevant brands,” said Debora
Overholt, Vice President of Retail for Swire Properties.
“We are very pleased to welcome recognized retail brands such as Zara
and MAC. Brickell City Centre is built as a destination in and of itself
- with the hotel, cinema, and other attractions creating an environment
where shoppers want to and are able to stay
longer,” she said.
These two stores join BCC’s existing tenant mix which.
A
handful of acclaimed, chef-driven restaurants are currently operating
in the center, including Luke’s Lobster, Pubbelly Sushi, American
Harvest, Tacology, Santa Fe, Big Easy Wine Bar & Grill,
Dr Smood and Haagen-Dazs, with a number of restaurants soon to open in
the coming weeks.
The
diverse mix features international cuisine, restaurant groups exclusive
to Miami, and both fast-casual and contemporary experiences. The
restaurants serve Brickell’s record-breaking daytime
population (with it being the main financial district of the
Southeast), its international tourists as well as the dense and affluent
surrounding neighborhoods of Miami. CMX from Mexico, a luxury dine-in
movie theater, will soon join the mix.
The
project also recently re-launched its website with a “Create Your Own
Itinerary” feature, which crafts custom BCC itineraries based on a
visitor’s interests, the length of their visit and
shopping and dining preferences. In the coming months, Brickell City
Centre will also debut an advanced phone application for the project
that is poised to be one of the most innovative and comprehensive apps
created for a shopping center. Phase one of the
app is currently downloadable on iTunes and Google Play.
BCC
also recently launched a centre-wide playlist curated by the project’s
global music director, Michaelangelo L’Acqua. The playlist, titled BCC
24/7, is also available for listening on Spotify
by visiting http://bit.ly/2kkjzoQ.
The Retail Center
After
four years of extensive planning and construction, the three-level,
vertically-integrated, open-air luxury retail center unveiled 500,000
square feet of high-end retail, fine dining and
entertainment space. The retail center is anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue
as well as the first CMX luxury dine-in movie theater location in the
U.S. and Miami’s first three-level Italian food hall, which are both
soon to open.
Brickell
City Centre’s diverse mix of luxury and contemporary stores features a
remarkable amount of international brands breaking ground in the U.S. A

The
shopping center connects with BCC’s five towers, including two 390-unit
luxury condominiums REACH and RISE, both with limited inventory
available, two class-A
mid-rise office towers currently leased by Akerman LLP, WeWork and
McKinsey & Company, and Brickell City Centre’s flagship hotel, EAST,
Miami.
Developed
by Hong Kong-based Swire Properties, Inc. along with partners Whitman
Family Development and Simon Property Group, Brickell City Centre serves
as a regional shopping destination housing
three levels of luxury, contemporary, international and
exclusive-to-Miami brands.
The
shopping center will seamlessly connect with Miami’s key transportation
nodes. Swire Properties is incorporating a Miami Metromover stop that
exits directly into the shopping center’s third
floor to allow easy and convenient access near Zara. The development
houses two-levels of underground parking to give customers easy access
to the center, despite Miami’s congested roadways.
The
entire development is interconnected by its architectural crown jewel,
the innovative CLIMATE RIBBON™, a $30 million elevated trellis of steel,
glass, and fabric. The Ribbon connects all
components of the project while shielding the retail center from the
sun, harnessing Miami’s bay breezes to provide natural air conditioning,
and collecting rainwater to recycle into irrigation for the center’s
rooftop gardens and nearby agriculture. Not only
does the climate ribbon transform outdoor shopping in Miami into a
pleasant and memorable experience, but it gives the center a Silver LEED
rating as an environmentally-friendly urban development.
