The Wharf Signs Eight New Retail Tenants
After signing several highly anticipated restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, The Wharf has lured its first clothing and furniture retailers to the Southwest Waterfront.
Hoffman-Madison Waterfront announced eight new tenants Tuesday totaling 10K SF, bringing its total Phase 1 retail leasing to roughly 80% ahead of its Oct. 12 grand opening, according to a spokesperson.
Five of the eight new retailers will open in District Square, the Wharf's open-air retail plaza that has already signed Politics and Prose. French furniture manufacturer Ligne Roset will open a 2,749 SF store in one of District Square's corner locations. Boutique clothing, jewelry and home decor concept A Beautiful Closet will open a 1,045 SF store in District Square. The shopping plaza's other three new additions include chocolate-maker Harper Macaw, BLINK Optical and Blush Med Skincare.
The Wharf's developers also announced three new retailers outside of District Square. Patrick's Fine Linens & Home Decor will open an 899 SF store on Water Street facing the waterfront. Restaurateur Med Lahlou will open a 1,980 SF pizzeria on Pearl Street, The Wharf's entertainment strip. A 560 SF dry cleaning and laundry shop, The Press, will open on Maine Avenue.
The new additions bolster The Wharf's shopping scene. Its previously announced soft-goods retailers include District Hardware and Bike, Cordial Craft Wine Beer and Spirits, Bella Moda Spa and CVS. It is also preparing to open several new restaurant concepts from well-known chefs such as Fabio and Maria Trabocchi, Mike Isabella, Jamie Leeds and Kwame Onwuachi.
