Since its pioneering 1965 debut as America’s first open-air luxury retail destination, Bal Harbour Shops has consistently redefined the shopping experience through its synthesis of high-end retail and immersive landscape design. In 2023, through an innovative architectural collaboration with LOT-EK, the brand launched a nomadic retail concept that transforms shipping containers into a 17,000-square-foot luxury shopping and hospitality destination. The fifth iteration, open at West Palm Beach’s CityPlace through January 15, houses an elevated roster including Dolce & Gabbana, Tiffany, and Balmain within glass-fronted pavilions set among Koi ponds and tropical gardens.
The space’s sophisticated fusion of industrial architecture and luxury retail provided an apt backdrop for The Killer Agency’s recent headquarters launch, where founder Jordan Kanegis hosted an evening that saw model Roos De Kok and actress Christa Allen mingling amid Renaissance-inspired tablescapes, while DJ Amanda Beckwith’s carefully curated soundscape enhanced the environment’s architectural narrative.
