Copley Place is an enclosed shopping mall, constructed in 1983, located in the Back Bay section of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by The Architects Collaborative and is owned by Simon Property Group, which acquired it in the 2002 breakup of the then-Dutch owned Urban Shopping Centers, Inc. It is part of a complex that includes office buildings, two hotels, and a parking garage.
The mall is noted for its upscale stores such as: Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Porsche Design, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, David Yurman, Louis Vuitton, and Salvatore Ferragamo. The mall is connected directly to the Shops at Prudential Center (Saks Fifth Avenue, Shaw's Supermarket, Lord & Taylor, Barnes & Noble) via a skybridge over Huntington Avenue. Recently, owners of the mall have called for a 54,000 sq ft (5,000 m2) expansion of Neiman Marcus, as well as an expansion of 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) of new stores and restaurants. A start and complete date is to be announced. The mall is also connected to the Back Bay MBTA station via an underground tunnel beneath Dartmouth Street. The mall had also housed one of the few major-chain owned movie theatres within Boston city limits until the Loews Copley Place Cinemas closed January 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word place:
“Life seems to be an experience in ascending and descending. You think you’re beginning to live for a single aim—for self-development, or the discovery of cosmic truths—when all you’re really doing is to move from place to place as if devoted primarily to real estate.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
