Nordstrom Inc. (Seattle) has announced a lease agreement to open a new store at the Irvine (Calif.) Spectrum Center.
The store, to be approximately 125,000 square feet, is tentatively scheduled to open in fall 2005. Nordstrom at Irvine Spectrum Center will be the retailer's fifth full-line store in Orange County, Calif., and its 19th full-line store in Southern California.
Irvine Spectrum Center, opened in 1995, has grown to 832,000 square feet of specialty stores, restaurants and entertainment, including one of the country's largest movie theaters. The expansion will include two new parking structures, one of them adjacent to Nordstrom.
“We've had the privilege of serving our customers in Orange County for almost 25 years and look forward to expanding our presence here,” said Julie Kuns, Nordstrom vp and Orange County general manager. “Irvine Spectrum Center is an exciting shopping destination.”
