The Canali unit will be the first outlet store for the Italian menswear designer. The other apparel designers and jeweler are opening their first outlet stores in South Florida, Simon Property Group said.
"Celebrating our 75th anniversary with 150 stores worldwide, Canali is excited about the opening of its first outlet store in the United States at renowned Sawgrass Mills," said Giorgio Canali, president of Canali's North American operations, in the expansion announcement. "Sawgrass Mills is the perfect location for our inaugural outlet launch."
The expansion will be connected to the east end of the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills. Judith Ripka, open at the Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills since last year, will relocate to the new expansion area. Villagio will be located in a freestanding unit to open in 2010.
"Sawgrass Mills already is a popular destination for style-conscious shoppers with the best collection of premium and name-brand outlets," said Gregg Goodman, president of The Mills, a division of Indianapolis-based Simon. "The addition of more luxury brand outlets and another dining option will only enhance our customers' overall shopping experience and solidify Sawgrass Mills as South Florida's premier shopping destination."
Mediterranean architecture, a decorative fountain and central plaza offer an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. Its innovative design is shopper-friendly with visible storefronts and direct access from the parking areas, as well as valet parking for added convenience.
At 2.4 million square feet, Sawgrass Mills is Florida's largest outlet, value retail and entertainment center. The project, which opened in 1990, offers more than 350 name-brand outlet and off-price retail stores, as well as entertainment and dining. The Colonnade Outlets at Sawgrass Mills is an 110,000-square-foot open-air promenade at the south side of the center.
