The state’s most prestigious shopping mall is planning to bring a little part of itself to downtown Detroit ... for a limited time.
The Somerset Collection in Troy will bring mini versions of several of its stores -- including Neiman Marcus, Kate Spade, Saks Fifth Avenue, Coach, the North Face, Anne Fontaine and the Gap - to downtown Detroit later this month, according to a report.
July 3, The Detroit Free Press: “Called Somerset Collection CityLoft, the boutiques will be located in a 4,000-square-foot space on the first floor of Merchants Row on Woodward Avenue.
“CityLoft will be open the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday of every month -- beginning July 28 -- through at least September.”
The CityLoft project represents a $500,000 investment by Somerset and its sponsors - Quicken Loans, Cadillac and Bank of America – the newspaper reports.
Organizers of the shopping center have special promotions and events planned throughout this month, including an invitation-only fundraiser July 27, the day before CityLoft is to open.
The temporary shopping center could be considered an upscale "pop-up shop,"also known as flash retailing.
