100 Huntington Ave · Boston, MA
Copley Place opened in 1984 as a mixed-use complex of a shopping mall, two hotels and four office towers, and Simon Property Group owns the mall. The shopping portion is about 385,000 square feet with roughly 80 stores, focused on fashion and luxury names. A skybridge over Huntington Avenue reaches the Prudential Center mall, and a pedestrian tunnel leads to Back Bay station. Neiman Marcus closed in April 2026 and Simon plans restaurants and shops for that space.
