Barneys New York Will Open Location At Bal Harbour Shops

Bal Harbour Shops is thrilled to announce it has signed a lease with luxury specialty retailer Barneys New York to open the brand’s first Barneys New York location in Florida. The 53,000 sq ft store, including the iconic Freds at Barneys New York, will anchor the shopping center’s recently approved $400 million expansion plan.

“No fewer than three generations of my family have worked in one capacity or another for nearly four decades to make this happen, so we could not be any happier if we tried about Barneys New York finally coming to Bal Harbour. Theirs has always been a unique and compelling perspective on fashion and on luxury – and through Freds, on food, too – and we know their point of view will resonate with our customer. We are proud and humbled to welcome Barneys New York into the Bal Harbour Shops family,” said Matthew Whitman Lazenby, third generation leader of Bal Harbour Shops and President and Chief Executive Officer of Whitman Family Development, LLC.

Barneys New York leadership signed a long-term lease with Bal Harbour Shops making a significant commitment to the area.

“It’s a milestone for Barneys New York to launch our first location in Florida at Bal Harbour Shops, which attracts the best clients from around the globe, who mirror today’s Barneys clients,” said Daniella Vitale, CEO & President, Barneys New York. “We’re excited for Bal Harbour shoppers to experience Barneys New York’s renowned approach to creating environments with exclusive, rare and highly-edited products coupled with luxury services, food, and digital experiences.”

Bal Harbour Shops also welcomes Freds at Barneys New York, an iconic restaurant serving innovative European-inspired and contemporary American cuisine. Freds offers a dining experience that captures the style and elegance of the iconic store in which it resides alongside the world’s most coveted fashion designers. Executive Chef Mark Strausman will create a custom menu for the Bal Harbour location, using the best locally-sourced ingredients and changing menu items seasonally.

Barneys New York, along with Freds, is planned to open in 2023 with the 350,000 sq ft Bal Harbour expansion.
