MIAMI—Seattle-based Nordstrom Inc. in separate announcements reports that it will open Nordstrom Rack stores of 31,000 square feet and 33,500 square feet, respectively, at The Shops at Midtown Miami and at Bowman Place in Mount Pleasant, SC.

The Miami store is scheduled to open in the spring of 2015, while the Mount Pleasant, SC store is projected to open its doors in the fall of 2015.

When it opens at DDR Corp.'s Shops at Midtown Miami development, it will be the fourth Nordstrom Rack store in the Miami area. Nordstrom operates a total of nine Rack locations and nine full-line stores in Florida. The company is opening a new Nordstrom store at St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville on Oct. 10 and two new Nordstrom Rack stores in West Palm Beach on Oct. 8 and in Lake Brandon on Oct. 24, which is also owned by DDR.

The new Nordstrom Rack in Miami will move into a space formerly occupied by Loehmann's and join current retailers including Target, Ross, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sports Authority and West Elm, as well as over 30 smaller shops and restaurants at the Shops at Midtown Miami.

The Shops at Midtown Miami, located on the corner of NE 36th Street and North Miami Ave., will total 645,000 square feet and encompass four blocks.

"The addition of Nordstrom Rack further solidifies The Shops at Midtown Miami as the market's premier destination for high-quality merchandise at value prices," says Paul Freddo, senior executive vice president of leasing and development for DDR. "As we optimize the retail mix of our properties nationwide, Nordstrom Rack continues to be a preferred brand and we look forward to expanding our partnership."

Nordstrom Rack's new store in Mount Pleasant, SC at Bowman Place will be part of a total renovation of the former Kmart center and will be located just off Johnnie Dodds Boulevard and I-526. Bowman Place is owned and managed by Charleston, SC-based Grove Property Fund LLC. Once complete, Bowman Place will consist of more than 125,000-square feet of retail and restaurant space.

The new store when it opens its doors next year will be the third Nordstrom Rack store in South Carolina. The company is opening its first Nordstrom Rack location at Magnolia Park in Greenville Oct. 3 and will open a second location in Columbia at Harbison Court on Oct. 24.

"With Nordstrom's long track record as one of the nation's top fashion retailers we believe there is no better choice than Nordstrom Rack to co-anchor our new Bowman Place development," says Donna Patterson, regional property manager for Grove Property Fund LLC.

Nationwide, Nordstrom operates 270 stores in 36 states, including 116 full-line stores, 151 Nordstrom Racks, two Jeffrey boutiques, and one clearance store.
