Tiffany to Open Store in San Antonio, Texas
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2005--Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) today announced plans to open a store in San Antonio, Texas, in fall 2005. The approximately 6,000 gross square foot store will be situated in The Shops at La Cantera, a new open-air shopping center located at 1-10 West at La Cantera Parkway, being developed by General Growth Properties, Inc. (NYSE: GGP).
The store's facade complements the center's southwest-style architecture, with limestone entry arch, travertine and polished marble frames in soft neutrals outlining full-height windows, and show windows with original metalwork details like those of Tiffany's New York flagship store. The interior features a series of intimate salons with Makore wood panels and stainless steel framed showcases that together create an elegant and welcoming environment.
The store will offer an array of renowned Tiffany collections, including the jeweler's celebrated engagement diamonds and jewels of ultimate glamour in platinum and eighteen-karat gold settings; rare and lustrous pearls; fashion jewelry and watches, including the classic Tiffany Mark(TM) that underscores Tiffany's reputation as one of the world's premier watchmakers; the signature designs of Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso and Jean Schlumberger; and accessories, china and crystal gifts.
"We are extremely excited about becoming part of the new center at La Cantera in San Antonio, a city known for its natural beauty and historical landmarks, which makes it a great place to live and a top destination," said Beth O. Canavan, executive vice president of Tiffany & Co. "We believe both residents and visitors will appreciate Tiffany's own heritage reflected in the new store's architectural details, and also in our time-honored standards of quality, craftsmanship, and superior service that makes shopping at Tiffany a unique experience."
"The addition of Tiffany & Co. solidifies General Growth's objective to deliver a world-class retail destination consistent with the high standards that already distinguish the visionary 1,700-acre La Cantera community," said John Bucksbaum, chief executive officer of General Growth Properties."
