Foundry Row

Project: Foundry Row
Client: Greenberg Gibbons

Foundry Row is an upscale, mixed-use development on a former industrial brownfield site northwest of Baltimore. The retail project draws its character from the history of its site, a former Solo Cup manufacturing plant in Owings Mills, Maryland. JP2 Architect’s shopping center design consists of multiple open-air retail buildings around a Main Street-style plan, anchored by a Wegmans supermarket and a keynote office building. The project includes 375,000 sq. ft. of retail, including both in-line small shops and larger anchor-type formats, as well as a gym and restaurants. The design creates a pedestrian-friendly district for both office tenants and shoppers.

Southdale Mall

Project: Southdale Mall
Client: Simon Property Group

A 1.3 million-square-foot shopping mall located in Edina, Minnesota, Southdale Center is owned and operated by the Simon Property Group. Dating from 1956, Southdale Center is noted as being the oldest enclosed mall in the United States. JP2 Architect’s renovation of Southdale Center respects the shopping mall’s original mid-century modern architectural design while updating and positioning it for the future. The retail property's exterior façade renovations provide new and renovated mall entrances, as well as the addition of a new food court entrance with a porte-cochère for Minnesota’s inclement weather.

Interior improvements include a new food court with seven tenants and seating for 400, new public amenities including a play area for children and new restrooms, as well as all new finishes and furniture throughout the Center’s concourses. The Grand Court interior design was similarly upgraded with new wood columns, ceiling treatments, lighting, and furnishing all reminiscent of the original mid-century designs by Victor Gruen. A new way-finding and signage design program as well as upgraded lighting are also incorporated.
