Schnitzer  West, Inc. Has announced the opening of Anthropologie on September 12, 2009 . Since the beginning of the year, this is the sixth “top of the food chain” retailer to announce its opening day at The Bravern Shops.

Anthropologie has quickly become the store of choice for sophisticated women who seek originality and a sense of adventure.  Its imaginative and vibrant store environments offer a signature merchandise mix that ranges from women’s fashion and accessories to home décor, decorative antiques and found objects, bath & body products and books. Products are selected with an eye for craftsmanship, the smallest detail, and that certain something special that makes each item a personal discovery.

Anthropologie is recognized for seeking out architecturally distinct spaces for its stores, which are individually and uniquely designed.  The Bravern certainly fits this mold. The Bravern store will open in 10,700 square feet next to Piazza Sempione off of 110th Avenue NE. Currently there are 127 Anthropologie stores in the United States and Canada.

“We’re extremely pleased to bring Anthropologie and its distinctive shopping experience to the Greater Eastside communities,” says Mark Netherland, senior investment manager for project developer Schnitzer West. “Anthropologie has been a sought-after store in this market.  We’re happy they chose The Bravern to be their home in Bellevue.”
