A new Lord & Taylor was part of the 1990s PLAZA renovation. This 120,000 square foot store opened in October 1995. It was followed by new Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom stores, which welcomed their first shoppers in March 1996.
As part of the The KOP's metamorphosis, all previously existing common area was given a post-modern, 1990s-style face lift. In this image, we see the shopping concourse that connected the old and new sections of the PLAZA. Storefronts on the left had been installed in the original (circa-1963) J.C. Penney structure.
