Will open this fall as a single department store
Limelight Marketplace, which launched in May 2010 as a collection of shops, cafes, eateries and restaurants in a former Gothic Revival-style church, will be relaunched in September as a three-level department store.
The new format, called Limelight, replaces the vendor-filled space, located at Sixth Avenue and 20th Street, in New York.
“Originally, we wanted Limelight Marketplace to be a family-style entertainment place,” owner Jack Menashe told Women’s Wear Daily. “The whole main floor is cleared out and it’s very sexy and dramatic and moody. It’s going to have a much more sophisticated one-vision feel.”
The space will remain open during the $4 million renovation, reports WWD. Among the brands to be featured at the new department store are M Missoni, Charlotte Ronson, James Perse, Young Fabulous & Broke, Rich and Skinny, Winter Kate and Elizabeth and James for women and Levi’s Made & Crafted, Sundek by Neil Barrett and Original Penguin, Trovata and Rogan for men. Food offerings will include Todd English’s new Cross Bar restaurant, Grimaldi’s pizza restaurant and Cana Wine Bar.
