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.

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.

TMIC Plaza Refresh

Project: TMIC Plaza Refresh
Client: Brookfield Properties

The Lifestyle Center at the Mall In Columbia is a collection of shops and restaurants around a large courtyard space. It is almost entirely surrounded by the enclosed component of the mall with limited direct access or visibility from the parking. As a result, the volume of pedestrian traffic through the Plaza is low .

JP2, along with Studio H2G, developed a series of improvements to create a sequence of active vibrant spaces that serve both the needs of the retailers and the larger Columbia community. A massive water feature which was an impediment to pedestrian flow is to be replaced with a wide terraced lawn space with a stage for live or televised events. Beyond the lawn the Plaza is transformed with new landscape and hardscape and a series of small pavilions with feature paving, soft seating and specialty lighting. At the far end of the Plaza is a grand pavilion with a tree-like structure which will accommodate larger gatherings and features customized pendant light fixtures.

The tenant storefronts in this area are to be upgraded with new materials, awnings and signage and the mall entrances will also be enhanced with cut metal screens, new lighting and signage as part of an overall strategy to improve the entrances throughout the center.

Pike 7

Project: Pike 7
Client: Federal Realty

Pike 7 Plaza is an open air retail center just outside the Washington DC beltway in Tysons, Virginia. The project includes 170,000 square feet of big box retailers, small shops, and numerous restaurants and cafes. The recent development of a collection of food and beverage tenants in an eye-catching building on the prominent corner of the site and the introduction of a Lidl grocer prompted the Owner to consider a refresh for the balance of the project.

While the larger tenants will be responsible for their own elevation upgrades, JP2 was tasked to make improvements to the facades at the in-line tenants and to create some memorable visual accents. The addition of new colors and materials will transform the look of the existing façade and a new open frame tower structure will replace the current heavy mass at the entrance to the existing public courtyard. This will provide a landmark for orientation as well as an invitation to venture into the space beyond where there will be both casual seating and outdoor dining. A trio of smaller existing towers will be re-clad with contemporary materials and upgraded lighting and landscaping will create an atmosphere where visitors will want to gather and shop.

The design solution gives a fresh look to the shops while new trellises and landscaping create distinct seating areas for several restaurants.

Ellisburg Shopping Center

Project: Ellisburg Shopping Center
Client: Federal Realty

Ellisburg Shopping Center, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, is an existing retail center with a long history in the community. Boasting a variety of shops, restaurants and a Whole Foods grocery store the project continues to be a major destination for the residents of adjacent neighborhoods.

One major goal of the proposed canopy façade renovation was to increase the project visibility from the surrounding highways. The solution was to develop a collection of strong roof forms that would stand out against the skyline and attract more shoppers and diners.

The use of contemporary forms and materials highlight the individual retail offerings and provides the visitor with a varied and exciting mix of visual statements. Unique canopies, awnings and abundant landscaping help to define smaller gathering spaces and enhance the overall shopping experience.

Cyfair Town Center

Project: Cyfair Town Center
Client: InvenTrust

Cyfair Town Center is an open-air shopping center in Cypress, Texas, a suburb northwest of Houston. The 435,000 square feet of development includes shops, restaurants, professional office space, a Kroger grocery store and a cinema. However, the buildings were all built with identical materials and details that created a stifling uniformity to the project.

By initially just using a range of paint colors in varying combinations over the existing pink brick facades, JP2 was able to create a more diversified visual composition. In addition, new canopies, awnings, patterned screens and trellises are used in various locations and in unique combinations to create a greater variety of visitor experiences. In select areas, new wood ceilings have been installed with modern hanging light fixtures and overall illumination has been upgraded.

The perception is further enhanced with new landscaping at the sidewalk, including an array of colorful planter pots and new custom benches. Colorful murals are planned for many of the remaining blank walls. The atmosphere of the project has gone from a bland sameness throughout to a collection of one-of-a kind memorable places for shopping, dining, and professional services.

The Shops at Riverside – AMC Addition

Project: The Shops at Riverside - AMC Addition
Client: Simon Property Group

The Shops at Riverside is an upscale , enclosed shopping center in Hackensack, N.J. first opened in 1977. With the closing and take-back of a three-level Saks Fifth Avenue department store, JP2 was retained to fully convert the building into shops, restaurants, and a new flagship luxury AMC multi-screen theater. The 1,100-seat theater facility occupies the upper level of the former department store building. The AMC required demolition and reconstruction of the upper floor with the roof at a higher level to accommodate the theater stadium seating. The entire building was stripped to a structural frame and brought up to current requirements for life safety. JP2 worked closely with AMC to integrate their requirements for projection mezzanines, acoustics, and other vital aspect essential to their new luxury cinema offering while still allowing restaurant and retail tenants including Cheesecake Factory and Barnes & Noble to occupy the lower level.
