Westfield to tender duty free and specialty retail at Newark
By Doug Newhouse |
Newark Liberty Airport Terminal B commercial manager Westfield is offering 29 retail, dining and amenity business offers in seven categories, including duty free, specialty retail, health and awareness, travel essentials, ATM, currency echange and F&B.
Westfield says the process will consider both local and international brands over the 33,000sq ft of space available and it plans to hold its first meeting and Terminal B tour on December 13 this month with proposals due on January 31, 2017.
The commercial manager says it is seeking ‘new, unique brands and concepts’ and is promising that the new traveller experience will bring the ‘heart and soul of New Jersey into the airport’ and draw design inspiration from the Garden State’s iconic locations.
WANTED: UNIQUE BRANDS/MOTIVATED PARTNERS
“This will be a significant redevelopment of Terminal B and the beginning of an enhanced traveller experience,” said Iris Messina, Westfield’s Vice President of Leasing.
“We’re looking for unique brands and motivated partners who are excited about working with us to reimagine Terminal B and highlight the amazing sights, sounds and flavours of New Jersey.”
Potential bidders should note that the design in Terminal B will draw inspiration from the Boardwalk, the Ironbound and the Garden State.
Describing these influences, Westfiled said: “The Boardwalk offers the warm colours and rich patterns that bring the Jersey Shore to life. Lined with homey, boutique shops, the Boardwalk has a relaxed feel with expansive views.
CAPTURING LOCAL ‘FEEL’
“The Terminal will also capture the urban look and feel of North Jersey in Ironbound, with design elements inspired by metal and brick, as well as vibrant street art. The Ironbound District is sophisticated yet approachable, with culinary treasures that bring diverse flavours and ingredients.
“Whether at a boutique, the beach or the Boardwalk, The Garden State offers a different kind of adventure for everyone: fresh, artisanal foods, scenic views and the great outdoors.”
