Nordstrom Inc., the owner of more than 100 namesake department stores, plans to open its first full-line location in New York City on Manhattan’s West Side, ending a site search that stretched for more than two decades.
The Seattle-based chain said it will own and occupy the seven-story, 285,000-square-foot (26,000-square-meter) base of a tower to be built by Extell Development Co. at Broadway and West 57th Street, near Columbus Circle and Carnegie Hall. The agreement was announced today at a press conference with Extell President Gary Barnett, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Peter Nordstrom, the retailer’s president of merchandising.
