The mall’s luxury wing will receive $30 million in improvements. Top Shop and Top Man will open there in March. La Perla and Tod’s, later this year, and Celine next year. Chanel, Gucci, Bulgari, Versace, CH Carolina Herrera, David Yurman, Ralph Lauren, Apple and Tory Burch recently renewed their leases and underwent renovations.
