ADDITION OF RETAIL GLA TO COLLEGE MALL

Project Details

CLIENT
Simon Property Group

LOCATION
Bloomington, IN

 

Woolpert’s relationship with retail developer Simon Property Group, and our expertise in outdoor lifestyle centers, spurred the developer to task our team with the conceptual development of and construction documentation for a 5,500-square-foot addition to College Mall in Bloomington, Ind.

Unlike traditional mall stores, the new addition provided two national retailers with storefronts and entrances on the exterior façade—with direct access to parking and pedestrian foot traffic.

Our team’s approach involved working with the developer, contractor and retail tenants to develop a program that met the project’s schedule (and budget) while enhancing the aesthetics of the mall’s exterior façade. Our team also provided new interior demised premises designed to each of the tenant’s prototypical requirements.

Woolpert provided engineering design services for site improvements, which included new parking, hardscape and landscape areas. After conducting a thorough traffic study of the property, Woolpert delivered design solutions for the mixture of vehicular and pedestrian traffic as well as service and delivery requirements. This resulted in increased parking and improved circulation, which enhances visitor experience at the mall.
