Powerhouse Scottsdale Shopping Center Welcomes 18 New Retailers and Restaurants

Macerich, one of the nation’s largest owners, operators, and developers of regional shopping centers, has opened the 100,000 square-foot expansion at its Arizona shopping center, Scottsdale Fashion Square, with the region’s first flagship Barneys New York department store and 18 additional new retailers and restaurants.

The opening underscores that Scottsdale Fashion Square is a premier retail property and continues to be a tremendous draw for the world’s best retail brands, says Edward C. Coppola, President of Macerich. Coppola adds that Macerich continues to elevate the Scottsdale Fashion Square shopping experience to meet the interests of its fashion-focused market.

Scottsdale Fashion Square, with 1.9 million square feet of retail space, now features five department stores and over 200 shops and restaurants. The shopping center sits at the intersection of Scottsdale and Camelback roads, a longstanding focal point for the city’s shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, and an array of sought-after neighborhoods.

“We approach greater Phoenix as a long-term proposition, and a market with very attractive growth prospects over time,” says Coppola. “This is a region with a dynamic future, and Scottsdale Fashion Square continues to be the destination of choice for retailers entering the market.”

Scottsdale Fashion Square marked the opening of the expansion with an exhibit of local artworks created with full-sized mannequins, called “The Mannequin is Our Muse,” and a lineup of fashion-focused events that will culminate in a series of runway shows during Scottsdale Fashion Week in November. Among new amenities are two new levels of underground parking plus the addition of several valet parking options for the property.
