I think Tyson’s Corner still has more of the luxury shopping in the area but yeah, that’s why I said it’s a mix. DC has definitely stepped up in the past 5 years. City Center is a big help and there’s more to come when they build that office tower if it also has GFR.
What cities have luxury stores downtown in 2019 currently? I know NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Miami, and DC. What other cities have stores in their actual downtown now? All cities have changed so much in the last decade. There are probably quite a few.

Maybe Seattle. Atlanta has high end brands in Buckhead, which has its own CBD, but it's not downtown.
Downtown Dallas has some upscale shopping options. As does Uptown Dallas that’s connected to Downtown. The majority of upscale shopping is found North of that though.

I know Dallas does but it’s not as extensive. I didn’t think downtown Miami had luxury stores. Thought it was mostly in Miami Beach and Bal Harbour. Also Palm Beach.

For all of the massive growth and development US cities have seen over the 2010s. The premier "complete" downtown shopping districts pretty much remain: Manhattan, Chicago, SF, and Boston. Seattle still probably remains 5th.
DCs city center was ultimately a bit of a let down, its a fairly small collection of low traffic boutiques. It has none of the pizzazz of say Union Square. No big department stores, no great people watching, etc. It hasn't really led to any spin-off development nearby.
Philly's shopping improved a little with the mall redevelopment. But, it still lags well behind Boston/SF.
LAs downtown retail scene has improved, but the redevelopment has really focused on nightlife, dinning over destination retail.
Miami's opened the big developments. But, City Center feels more like a suburban shopping mall plopped down in the middle of a city.

The thing is that City Center isn't complete yet. Phase 2 hasn't been fully leased at the bottom and phase 3 is yet to be complete so we don't know how it will turn out until everything is complete and the development starts to mature over time.
I will say that I did expect Anthem Row to have some of that spin off shopping retail (ie stores like a Nike or a Bloomingdales, etc) but it got an Equinox instead which might not be a bad thing since there isn't really an upscale gym in that vicinity.
Anthem Row has been a disappointment based on my expectation for that "spin-off retail" so far. Basically just another food hall, a "fitness center" and 2 restaurants planned for Anthem Row.
Without going through 40 pages of an old thread I’d say every major metro is going to have at least an area or two where there’ll be plenty of upscale shopping. Those with higher salaries and tourism will have more. With that said, the places that come to mind, west to east, are:Honolulu, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Miami, Washington DC, and New York City.
