WEST PALM BEACH, FL-Macy’s at CityPlace is introducing new merchandising concepts at the $550 million Downtown mixed-use CityPlace complex that won’t officially debut until Oct. 27. If the concepts work, they may be applied to other new and existing Macy’s units.

For example, the Federated Department Stores’ unit, at two floors and 110,000 sf, is smaller than the traditional Macy’s location. The store’s early launch was made possible by Macy’s being in a self-contained portion of the complex that will not interfere with ongoing construction at the 77-acre site.

Project developers are three New York City firms, the Palladium Company, the Related Companies and the O’Connor Group, along with the Related Group of Florida in Miami. Participating in ownership is the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System.
