Copley Place to fill Neiman Marcus space with restaurants, luxury boutiques

One of Boston’s largest shopping centers is slated to undergo some big changes.

Simon Property Group has announced plans for a redevelopment of the current Neiman Marcus space at Copley Place, the mixed-use property located in the city’s affluent Back Bay neighborhood. This week, Saks Global said it was closing multiple Saks Fifth Avenue stores, in addition to the Boston Neiman Marcus location, on the heels of its recent bankruptcy filing.

Simon says the new multi-level redevelopment will introduce a “world-class roster” of internationally-recognized luxury retail brands and notable dining to Copley Place, including Casa Tua Cucina, a Miami-born culinary marketplace, and Estiatorio Milos, a globally-acclaimed Greek seafood restaurant founded by Greek-born restaurateur Costas Spiliadis. The project will welcome additional luxury boutiques to be unveiled at a later date.

RSK: This might be a good adaptive reuse of space. Plenty of parking and more options being introduced.
