Phipps Plaza

In 1969, Phipps Plaza opened as the first multi-level mall in Atlanta, aiming to become the South's leading shopping destination.

That year, in development as part of a $140 million renovation and expansion, Phipps added a third anchor, Birmingham, Alabama based Parisian, owned by the parent company of Saks Fifth Avenue, to its original anchors Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor.

The hotel and restaurant are expected to open in late 2019 with plans for the other portions of the project to debut in phases in 2020.
