TORONTO, NEW YORK and NEW JERSEY, September 10, 2015 -- Hudson's Bay Company (HBC)
and Triple Five are pleased to announce the addition of three iconic retail banners to American

Opening in late summer 2017, the mega complex will house a mix of retail, restaurants and
entertainment, and welcome 40 million visitors annually. The HBC stores are all slated to open
in late summer 2017.
“American Dream is one of the most unique projects in the world - it is elevating the shopping
center format to combine retail, dining, lifestyle and entertainment to create a total experiential
destination. We believe that shopping is an entertainment experience, and the American Dream
concept exemplifies that philosophy fully,” said Richard Baker, Governor and Executive
Chairman, Hudson’s Bay Company.
“The American Dream concept presents an exciting opportunity for the HBC portfolio of brands
as we continue to drive forward our growth strategy in North America. Never have we housed all
three of our U.S. banners in one location. Each one - Saks, Lord & Taylor and Saks OFF 5TH caters to a distinct consumer segment, and American Dream positions us to service every
consumer, through luxury, better department store, and off-price formats,” stated Jerry Storch,
CEO, Hudson’s Bay Company.
With such a large and diverse customer demographic, American Dream will be the perfect
platform for HBC to deliver the exceptional product and experience each banner is renowned
for. The new 131,906 sq. ft. Saks Fifth Avenue and new 119,605 sq. ft. Lord & Taylor stores will
be located within “The Collections” area of American Dream, a sophisticated and elegant
architectural showcase of luxury and lifestyle retailing. The new 30,000 sq. ft. Saks Fifth Avenue
OFF 5TH will be located in the 3rd level off-price district.

world. Our customers will be thrilled that such popular and iconic mainstays of New York
shopping, Saks Fifth Avenue, Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, will be launching
