Bal Harbour Shops, a luxe retail shopping center out of Miami will debut its traveling retail event — Bal Harbour Shops ACCESS Pop-Up — in North Hills later this November.

Made up of 30 shipping containers, this exclusive pop-up will feature a mix of high-end fashion stores like Tiffany & Co., Frette, and James Perse.

For eight weeks only, these containers will be located near Coquette at 4359 Six Forks Rd. The space will embrace the nearly 60-year-old brand’s Miami roots by bringing in planters filled with lush greenery, koi ponds, and fountains. Plus, the setting will showcase Bal Harbour Shops’ signature palm tree motif.

Described as a “luxury shopping and dining experience,” the 17,000 sqft project will include a fine dining restaurant called The Whitman, which will allow 150 seats with a full bar + lounge.

Each space will be modern, air conditioned, well-lit, and fully outfitted with furniture, panels, and shelving.

This stop is the first of many of this multi-city shopping and dining event with future pop-ups in Greenville, SC and locations in Florida.
