Bal Harbor Shops - Miami Beach travel guide - Accomodations Miami Beach
Internationally renowned. This exclusive shopping destination showcases a unique collections of boutiques, restaurants and shops. You need only meet the three men who oversee the center's day-to-day operations to realize why, after 40 years, Bal Harbour Shops continues to foster a reputation as the country's number-one retail sensation. There's managing partner Randy Whitman, a jovial, nononsense type who has witnessed many changes since joining Bal Harbour Shops in 1974, and his nephew, Matthew Whitman Lazenby, the leasing partner who represents both the third generation and the company's future. But the heart and soul of Bal Harbour Shops is easily Stanley Whitman, the visionary who founded the innovative shopping center that opened its doors 40 years ago. Though unofficially retired from running the company, Stanley, now 86, still reports to his office each day, as his passion for the property has anything but waned.
"I come in every day because I love it," Stanley admits. "In real estate you're not supposed to have a love for a piece of property-you do that, and you get in trouble. But I do, I love this place."
Ranked “the #1 most productive shopping center in the U.S.” by Women’s Wear Daily, Bal Harbour Shop's collection of stores are the who’s-who in fashion and glamour from Tiffany to Bulgari, from Escada to Prada. This “shopping hall of fame” embraces visitors with its tropical garden setting, plus charming cafes such as Carpaccio, Lea’s Tea Room, and Bal Harbour Bistro. A Mecca for celebs and fashionistas, and a people-watching scene that rivals Beverly Hills, Paris and St. Tropez.
