New York - Plans for Plaza Retail Collection Set the Stage for Elegant Shops and Destination Restaurants
|
 |
Plans for The Plaza Retail Collection, a defining gathering of the world's most luxurious shops, high end boutiques and destination restaurants, located in the most elegant and spectacular public spaces within the iconic landmark at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Central Park, were unveiled by Miki Naftali, president of Elad Properties, owner of The Plaza. |
'The sweeping Plaza Retail Collection will occupy 160,000 square feet on six levels offering visitors from around the world an unparalleled international shopping and dining experience, graced by restored historic areas linked to complementary contemporary interiors,' Mr. Naftali said.
Shoppers and visitors entering the restored magnificent Fifth Avenue entrance will be treated to an interior vista unseen since The Plaza's earliest years - stretching from the Palm Court half a city block in distance to the restored Terrace Room with its elegant retail space. The Palm Court will feature a 1,200-square-foot stained glass ceiling, recreated from historic 1907 photos.
The Terrace Room - 5,000 square feet on distinctive, graduated floors, plus 1,400 square feet on the mezzanine - flows from the Palm Court into a series of showcase luxury environments. The Edwardian Room, with its oversize windows wrapping around Central Park South and Grand Army Plaza, is destined to become one of the city's most celebrated retail destinations. With some 3,800 square feet on the ground floor and another 1,100 square feet on a mezzanine above, the Edwardian Room will be a flagship location for top fashion boutiques.
The Oak Bar and the Oak Room will continue to add to their legends, while the Grand Ballroom will continue to provide an elegant setting for memorable family, social and civic celebrations. Just below the street level floor will be a new 53,000-square-foot concourse - a rare expanse in a luxury location providing an ideal setting for elegant shops and food purveyors from around the world. The signature Plaza Retail Collection will also feature a spa, beauty salon and state-of-the-art fitness center.
The exclusive leasing agent for the Plaza Retail Collection is Robert K. Futterman & Associates. The retail design architect is TPG Architecture.
