MIAMI, Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

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 full list of open and soon-to-open stores can be found at: http://bit.ly/2fa29Hc 

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.
