FRONT Shopping Del Amo Fashion Center unveils new Nordstrom The Del Amo Fashion Center is an iconic mall, one of the largest in America and one of the oldest. It actually used to be two separate malls, but in 1981 they built a bridge that connected the two, now referred to as “the marriage of the malls”. The Del Amo has continued to grow and is currently nearing the end of a massive $200 million+ renovation, with a 100-retailer expansion. Now South Bay shoppers will have Uniqlo, Michael Kors, Vera Bradley, a flagship Victoria Secret and a nearly 140,000-square-foot Nordstrom in their hood. Guests can enjoy new eateries like FRIDA and Great Maple, or Sumo Salad and Blaze Pizza in the lovely Patio Cafes - a garden-inspired dining pavilion in the heart of the shopping center, complete with living green walls. And stores that had to temporarily relocate are back in full swing, like the newly renovated 25,000 square-foot, two level H&M. There’s a fourlevel parking structure with 11,000 parking spaces and Park Assist, a technology that helps shoppers know the number and location of spots available. The parking also features 19 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations plus two fast-charging NRG eVgo Freedom Station sites. If parking is not your thing, there are also two valets available. The Del Amo Fashion Center has comfortable seating throughout the mall and provides a range of guest-friendly amenities, including Wi-Fi, stroller and wheelchair rentals, gift cards and Ticketmaster. And lastly, during construction, the development created more than 600 construction jobs and upon opening, the center will provide more than 400 permanent and part-time jobs. The grand opening of the new NORDSTROM at Del Amo Shopping Center was held on Friday, <strong>October</strong> 9, 2015. The newly operating 140,000 square-foot, two level space, is open and airy with lots of natural light, glass corridors and glass hand rails. There are five restaurants and one café within Nordstrom, an interactive play house for the kids, a tailor onsite for alterations, personal stylists, Anastasia brow services and artwork by local artists, plus there’s direct access from the parking garage. Nordstrom will have these brands available: TOPSHOP Rag & Bone A.L.C. Current Elliott Frame Denim Jeffrey Campbell Elizabeth & James La Mer Sisley Tom Ford Fragrance TOPMAN MCM handbags Brandy Melville Tory Burch handbags & footwear Pedro Garcia handbags & footwear Alice + Olivia Veda Jo Malone Hourglass Cosmetics Fresh Prior to the store’s 10:00 a.m. Grand Opening, on <strong>October</strong> 9th, Nordstrom at Del Amo Fashion Center hosted a Beauty Bash for customers in the Nordstrom Court.
