Miami’s legendary Bal Harbour Shops will increase in size by two-thirds, according to owners Whitman Family Development, which has secured $550 million in financing for a 300,000-sq.-ft. addition. More than 57,000 sq. ft. of that will be occupied by the new phase’s anchor, Barney’s New York
Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, which arranged the financing, called it one of the largest construction loans ever to close in Miami.
“Bal Harbour Shops maintains its position as the most successful, high-end shopping destination in Florida and one of the most productive in the world,” said HFF senior managing director Chris Drew. “The Shops continue to experience intense demand from both existing tenants and retailers that have been waiting years to join its roster.”
Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus serve as the current anchors at Bal Harbour, which also feature such luxury brands as Chanel, Gucci, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co., Salvatore Ferragamo and Valentino.
