Miami’s luxury outdoor shopping experience Bal Harbour Shops has launched a pop-up tour that includes Sarasota as a stop. The tour, called Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-Up Tour, aims to bring luxury stores to larger audiences across the Southeast.

On Mar. 8, brands like Tiffany & Co., Balmain, Etro, Gianvito Rossi, Addict and many more will open outside The Mall at University Town Center with a recreation of the flagship Bal Harbour Shops that spans more than 17,000 square feet and is built from 30 custom shipping containers.

"We're thrilled to bring the tropical luxury shopping and dining experience of Bal Harbour to Sarasota for the first time,” says Matthew Whitman Lazeby, president and CEO of Whitman Family Development and the owner of Bal Harbour Shops. “With this roving pop-up, we introduce a new and innovative solution at the crossroads of high-touch personal service and high-tech logistics, delivering on our mission to impress our guests with our distinctive level of excellence."

The luxury experience won’t stop with shopping, as the pop-up will feature a fine-dining destination via The Whitman restaurant. With 150 seats and a Sarasota-specific menu, guests can pop in for a meal or a drink to rest between stores.

The Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-Up Tour will run for eight weeks at The Mall at University Town Center, allowing ample time to visit and visit again.
