toxtethogrady Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I would have thought with all the residential going up downtown that either Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom or Neiman's would have been interested. After all, Neiman's has long had that downtown store in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortune Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well downtown does contain the second wealthiest zipcode In the U.S. according to this article:http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/morning_call/2014/12/houston-zip-code-one-of-the-richest-in-the.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Huge Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I really dont see why they would be doing publicity shoots right now, if it is in the works, its eons away from actually opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I really dont see why they would be doing publicity shoots right now, if it is in the works, its eons away from actually opening.Maybe it's going to the galleria instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fkp5 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I hope it comes downtown. A Bloomingdale's is just what downtown needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbpro Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 If I recall correctly, didn't the mayor's office indicate, at a planning meeting for DT, that a Houston civic rep would be going to NYC with hopes of bringing back good news? This was like 3-4 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I am skeptical that a tweet and other news are linked but, I guess it could be.Here is what I believe:An upscale dry goods retail chain is coming to downtown again. I have no idea who, what, or when. But, with affluent population growth in DT, mid-town, and EaDo, coupled with 100,000 office commuters, a "smaller scale, urban concept" store by one or several retail chains could make a splash and be profitable.

Howard Huge Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bloomingdale's is part of Macy's Inc. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.You may be on to something now, when Macy's was demolished they did say they were scouting another downtown location!

IronTiger Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You may be on to something now, when Macy's was demolished they did say they were scouting another downtown location!Likely a replacement Macy's. And before anyone asks why is Macy's headquartered in Cincinnati, the original R.H. Macy Co. was acquired in 1994 by Federated Stores, located in Cincinnati. They changed names to Macy's Inc. in 2007 shortly after eliminating every regional nameplate they owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
