The long-awaited Zara has opened in Miami just in time for the holiday season.
Settled on the east block of Brickell City Centre (BCC), the two-story Zara showcases everything the contemporary brand has to offer men, women, and children.
BCC, developed by Swire Properties Inc, is a $1 billion mixed-use project in the heart of Miami’s bustling financial district. The nine-acre development involves almost five million square feet of retail, office, luxury residential, hotel and entertainment space, plus a unique two-level, seven-acre underground parking garage. Issued Miami’s “city within a city,” BCC revealed its first phase in November 2016, contained two luxury residential towers – REACH and RISE, two mid-rise office structures – TWO BCC and THREE BCC, and the toney EAST, Miami Hotel. All are towering over the ultimate amenity – a 500,000 square foot open-air retail center boasting 125 storefronts and three levels of unique shopping, dining, and entertainment anchored by an ultra-modern Saks Fifth Avenue, luxury dine-in cinema CMX and La Centrale – Miami’s very first Italian food hall.
The project’s three city sections are all connected by its architectural crown jewel, the CLIMATE RIBBON; the larger canopy of steel and glass that crosses 150,000 square feet working as a complicated environmental management system protecting shoppers from South Florida’s heat and rain.
