Thousands of miles away on Regent Street in London, that huge, block-sized mixed retail, office and residential development is coming into sharper focus. An Apple retail store will occupy two floors in the middle of the block, leaving space on either side for smaller, as-yet unknown tenants. It’s possible that Apple will have to forego the usual stainless steel facade in order to meet architectural preservation requirements for the district. The total size of the retail space will be 20,000 square feet, with an additional 3,000 s.f. back-of-house. Mark your calendar– the store will open in November, in time for the holiday shopping season.
