Bravern Opening This Week

Two days from today, Neiman Marcus celebrates the opening of their new store in Bellevue with a black tie gala, followed by opening of the new luxury collection of shops, restaurants and clubs at The Bravern.

The Seattle region has had an up and down relationship with designer brands in the past, yet the demographics continue to show that this market is ready. The Bravern is strategically located in close proximity to the wealthiest zip codes in this region. Microsoft has already moved in to the 2 office towers, and the luxury residential towers designed by NBBJ are nearing completion.

The shop collection has been carefully curated with a mix of both first to the market and well-loved Seattle area establishments expanding to the east-side – like Wild Ginger, the Southeast Asian inspired restaurant, whose Seattle flagship we designed in 2000, along with the new Bravern location opening over this weekend.

Bellevue Square, the highly successful regional retail center is just a few blocks down the road, offering a broad range of retail, entertainment and restaurant venues like Nordstrom, Macy’s and more than 200 stores. We are about to discover if this market is ready for the next level up, in a limited edition – Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Piazza Sempione, Salvatore Ferragamo, Tory Burch, David Barton Gym, and more..
