Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE:DDR), the owner, manager and developer of a dynamic international portfolio of highly-valued shopping centers, is pleased to announce the opening of Macy’s at Nampa Gateway Center, a 967,326-square-foot, open-air shopping center in Nampa (a suburb of Boise), Idaho.

“For the upcoming holiday season we now have four outstanding national retailers at Nampa Gateway Center,” says Erik Christopher, senior vice president of leasing-development for Developers Diversified. “It’s a pleasure to have such an outstanding tenant mix. We look forward to more exciting announcements regarding the center over the next few months, including an Edwards Theatres that is projected to open in 2010.”

Macy’s will open a one-level, 120,000-square-foot store on October 17. The department store features a full range of apparel and accessories for men, women and children, as well as merchandise for the home.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new store will take place outside Macy’s west entrance, facing Highway 84 at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. At 10 a.m., the first 500 customers to enter the store will receive a $10 gift card. Throughout the day, Macy’s will host an array of special events including product demonstrations, face painting for children, complimentary coffee, pet adoptions and many other exciting events and promotions. To add to the festivities, a performance by the locally known Rolando Ortego band will take place at 11 a.m.

Macy’s joins an already superior tenant lineup at Nampa Gateway Center. Sports Authority opened an expanded, full-line store on August 8, 2009 and Idaho Athletic Club opened a 29,005 square-foot facility on October 7, 2009. JCPenney has been open at the center since July 2007. Additionally, a 50,000 square-foot, 12 screen, state of the art digital Edwards Theatres is projected to open in December 2010.

The shopping center’s architecture is characteristic of the western mountain states, with an abundance of natural stone and timber. The complex is pedestrian-friendly, with inviting walkways and a number of consumer amenities.
