Urban Outfitters Inc. (Philadelphia) will open its first Anthropologie store in downtown Chicago, in a mixed-use development known locally as Block 37.
Anthropologie’s 12,000-square-foot store will occupy the first and second floors of a building that faces State Street and Washington Boulevard. The Block 37 site, between Macy’s and the Daley Center, will include residential, hotel, office, retail and entertainment components. Among the other signed retail tenants are Zara, Puma, Steve Madden, Lululemon athletic and yoga wear, a Sabon bath and body works products store, Godiva chocolates, a Rosa Mexicano restaurant, a new-concept food emporium by Lettuce Entertain You and a Muvico Entertainment seven-screen cineplex.
Chicago’s downtown Loop will also see renovation of the historic Carson Pirie Scott building on State Street into the Sullivan Center and boutiques within the Palmer House Hilton hotel. These three projects will expand the Loop's retail space by 600,000 square feet, or about 16 percent.

This is going to be one of those project that would help the people in the surrounding area to get a job or make their shopping faster. The Anthropologie's would definitely be a success because the area itself would be crowded and many vehicles will pass by in those areas. Murfreesboro Pediatric Dentist
