December 3, 2009 --Five clothing stores and a sunglass shop were added to the list of tenants coming to Santa Monica Place when the mall opens in August after a major remodel, owner Macerich announced on Wednesday.

Coming to the first floor of the three-level, open-air mall are Hugo Boss, which specializes in tailored men’s clothing and accessories; Juicy Couture, which features clothing and accessories for women and girls and 7 For All Mankind, a premium denim dealer.

Tenants announced for the second floor are AllSaints Spitalfields, a British clothing and accessories brand; Solstice Sunglass Boutique, which sells designer brand sunglasses and Eva Varro, a local Southern California designer who will be opening her first boutique.

The renovated 550,000-square-foot dining and shopping complex is expected to open on Aug. 6. It will feature Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom as its anchor stores.

Macerich has announced tenants in waves during the past year. In September, the company said Nike, CB2 and Burberry will be in the lineup, (Santa Monica Place Lands Three Key Tenants, September 25, 2009). Other tenant announcements came in August. See stories;
