Well positioned centers can stand the test of time and are prime candidates for re-positioning and renovating. Additionally, adding first to trade area retailers can significantly broaden the drawing power of a center. Investing and updating the look and feel of a center can overcome negative initial perceptions. Glendale Galleria has always generated strong sales.
However, prior to the renovation, there was a negative perception that time had passed by the center, notwithstanding its historically strong sales. With the renovation, the first response from the retailer was positive. Thus, the renovation helped put the negative perception to bed. Glendale Galleria is owned by a JV partnership. The renovation was self-funded by the JV partnership. From a timing perspective financing considerations aside , it would have been great to have done this project 5 years earlier.
It may have precluded some of the defections from the center that occurred during that 5 year period. The interior was hard and dark. The existing design had lots of brick, little natural light, and florescent, industrial-like ceiling light fixtures. Customer interior traffic flow challenges were also present from the center being originally developed in two phases.
The renovation essentially made Glendale a new, physical plant. Moreover, the aesthetic incorporated into the renovation will be timeless. Improvements included the following:.
One of the most prominent features was a new black stone runway that ramps through the exterior to the interior and diffused into a distinctive pixilated floor pattern that reverberates throughout the mall.
The design team opened up sight lines by exposing and enhancing the sculptural beauty of the ceiling vaults, eliminated most of the old brick for a more elegant feel, and created a stronger connection throughout the mall with escalator reconfiguration.
Our team ultimately achieved the goal of giving the Glendale Galleria customer a new and improved shopping experience.
This created a more prominent address for the mall and enhanced leasing opportunities for the entire shopping center. As a result of the renovation and its associated re-tenanting, Glendale Galleria re-established itself as a trade area powerhouse.
Aesthetically, the design is light and contemporary, and the circulation is easy to navigate. Yes, the center remained fully open during the renovation and performed well during the project.
The great majority of the work was done at night, thereby minimizing the daily impact of the construction. Further, we phased the work to minimize the areas of impact during construction. Moreover, additional commitments were made for cleaning and security to maintain the operating condition of the property.
Glendale Galleria has delivered first to market retailers over decades while routinely delivering high sales per square foot.
