Nordstrom Rack to add two more locations

The off-price division of Nordstrom plans to open a new store in the nation’s capital, and another in Texas.



Nordstrom Rack will open at District Center in the heart of Washington, D.C. The approximately 37,000 sq.-ft., two-level store, is scheduled to open in fall 2016, will be the retailer's thirteenth Nordstrom Rack in Washington, D.C./Baltimore area having first opened in the area at Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Virginia in 1990.



"MetLife and its partners are thrilled to have Nordstrom Rack join us at District Center," said Jessica Schoen of MetLife Investment Management. "We believe Nordstrom Rack's presence will offer a valuable amenity to the occupants of 555 12th Street and also measurably improve the retail offerings for residents of the District of Columbia.”



Nordstrom Rack will open at The Parke in Cedar Park, Texas just north of Austin. The approximately 31,000 square-foot store is scheduled to open in spring 2017.



The property is being developed by Austin-based Endeavor Real Estate Group.



The Parke is located directly off Highway 183A at the intersection of East New Hope Drive. When it opens, the new Nordstrom Rack will join a strong mix of retailers including 365 by Whole Foods, DSW, Dick's Sporting Goods and Field & Stream.



This will be the third Nordstrom Rack in the Austin area joining stores at Sunset Valley Shopping Center in Sunset Valley and at Gateway Center in Austin.



"Endeavor is excited to welcome Nordstrom Rack to Cedar Park and to have a retailer of their caliber at The Parke. Cedar Park has become the destination for high-quality retailers in Northwest Austin, and we are thrilled to continue that trend,” said Charlie Northington, managing principal with Endeavor.
