The former Neiman Marcus location at Copley Place in Boston is scheduled to be transformed into a new development featuring a high-end Italian marketplace, a Greek restaurant, and several luxury retail stores.
Plans for the Redevelopment
Simon Property Group, which owns Copley Place, announced that the 100,000-square-foot space previously occupied by Neiman Marcus will be redeveloped. The new plans include Eataly, an Italian food hall and market, as well as Estiatorio Milos, a Greek restaurant. In addition, several luxury retailers are expected to open in the renovated area.
Timeline and Details
According to Simon Property Group, construction is anticipated to begin later this year, with the new establishments projected to open in 2025. The company stated that the redevelopment will enhance the shopping center’s appeal and offer a broader range of dining and shopping options for visitors.
