As part of its ongoing reinvention, Scottsdale (Arizona) Fashion Square retail and mixed-use project will continue to expand its luxury component, adding a Life Time wellness destination and a Caesars Republic Scottsdale boutique hotel.
Plans include an extensive interior and exterior renovation of the south wing to create a special arrival point and valet parking at the luxury section launched in 2018. Also planned for this phase are two-story storefronts and exterior-facing retail buildings at the south entrance, and a porte cochere that will incorporate up to five destination restaurants.
“Macerich is dedicated to consistently reinvesting in and elevating our top regional town centers, and Scottsdale Fashion Square is among the most productive in our portfolio,” said Tom O’Hern, chief executive officer of Macerich, the property’s owner/manager. “Scottsdale Fashion Square is already the region’s undisputed luxury leader, and the tremendous success of our luxury wing demonstrates the strong appetite among retailers and shoppers for even more high-end experiences throughout this top-performing property. This multi-phased project is part of Macerich’s long-term strategy, as well as the center’s own history, of continually reinvesting in our irreplaceable retail destinations. We see great opportunity to further extend our luxury presentation into the south wing to welcome more of the world’s best brands and experiences, in line with the outstanding demographics and growth in the Scottsdale-Phoenix market.”
Echoing the aesthetics of the luxury wing, interior renovation elements for the south wing include upscale new finishes, new natural stone flooring, three spectacular custom light fixtures and recessed LED lighting, elegant furnishings, better sightlines to highlight individual retailers and more. Everything will come together to deliver a more cohesive and holistic luxury experience for guests and retailers throughout the property.
Macerich is currently planning the addition of more mixed-use elements at Scottsdale Fashion Square on a seven-acre parcel immediately north of the mall that reaches from Goldwater Boulevard to Scottsdale Road. The plan will incorporate high-end residential units, class A office space and hospitality uses.
