Antara, previously branded as Antara Polanco and Antara Fashion Hall, is an upscale open-air shopping center in the Nuevo Polanco section of the upscale district of Polanco, Mexico City. It hosts a concentration of boutiques of global luxury brands and is anchored by a Casa Palacio department store and a Cinemex multicinema.
The Antara Polanco shopping center, as it was then branded, opened its doors in 2006. Two years after the opening, phase 2 of the development project was launched with the construction of two office buildings behind the mall.[1]
In 2015, Mexico's 500th Starbucks opened in Antara Polanco.[2] In 2018, the mall's Cinemex was the first movie theater in Latin America to use Samsung's LED screen Onyx.[3] In September 2019, Mexico City's second Apple Store opened in Antara Polanco.[4] In September 2020, a customer caused a stir by bringing her pet tiger with her to the mall.[5] [6] In 2021, Dyson announced the opening of its first store in Latin America in Antara Polanco.[7]
The center was designed by the Mexican architect Javier Sordo Madaleno.[8] The mall hosts concerts, fashion shows, and exhibitions throughout the year. It has three levels and is home to over 100 stores including anchor Casa Palacio (a high-end department store of the Palacio de Hierro chain limited to furniture and home furnishings), 6 gourmet restaurants, a fast-food court, a casino, and a Cinemex movie theater. It was built on the site of a demolished General Motors factory.[9]
