After Saks Global announced the closure of Neiman Marcus locations nationwide, including the longstanding store at Boston's Copley Place mall, the shopping center has revealed plans for new luxury retail and dining concepts to take over the space. The redevelopment will bring in an Italian food hall called Casa Tua Cucina, a high-end Greek seafood restaurant Estiatorio Milos, as well as expansions of existing luxury brands like FENDI and LOEWE.

Why it matters

The closure of Neiman Marcus at Copley Place marks the end of an era for the iconic department store, but also presents an opportunity for the mall to reinvent itself with a focus on luxury experiences. As consumer shopping habits continue to evolve, malls must adapt by offering unique, experiential concepts that can't be replicated online.

The details

Casa Tua Cucina will be a Miami-based Italian marketplace and dining hall with various food stations, while Estiatorio Milos will be a renowned Greek seafood restaurant founded by restaurateur Costas Spiliadis. The redevelopment will also include new stores for luxury brands like Dolce & Gabbana, FENDI, and LOEWE. Construction is expected to begin later this year with phased openings.

  • Neiman Marcus has been open at Copley Place since 1984.
  • Saks Global announced the closure of Neiman Marcus locations, including Copley Place, on February 5, 2026.
  • Casa Tua Cucina is slated to open at Copley Place in 2027.
